2 weeks ago


London, United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority Full time

The FCA Cost Benefit Analysis Panel (the Panel) is a new independent panel of experts which is to established following the enactment of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 (the Act) to provide advice to the FCA and PSR in relation to cost-benefit analysis (CBA).

The FCA undertakes a CBA in order to analyse and estimate, where possible, the likely impacts of a policy on different groups such as industry, consumers, markets and the FCA. As well as providing transparency to the public and our stakeholders that we are using our powers appropriately, a CBA helps us to understand whether our proposed interventions are likely to be effective and are proportionate to the harm we are trying to address.

The panel will advise the FCA and Payment Systems Regulator (PSR), and will have the statutory duty to:
- provide the FCA and PSR with advice in relation to the preparation of their statement of policies on CBA methodology;- provide the FCA and PSR with advice in relation to the preparation of CBAs;- keep under review how the FCA and PSR are performing generally in carrying out their duties to undertake a CBA; and- provide to the FCA and PSR whatever recommendations the Panel thinks appropriate as a result of such review.

The role

As Panel Chair, you will lead and improve the capability of the Panel in providing expert, independent and pragmatic advice, challenge and scrutiny to help raise the standard of CBA and evidence-based policy development in the FCA and PSR. The Panel will review CBAs published by the FCA and PSR and report their views on the content of those CBAs. The Chair will be expected to shape and oversee the work of the CBA Panel, chairing regular meetings and representing the Panel internally and externally.

You will work with the FCA and PSR to establish effective, pragmatic and proportionate ways of working to ensure that the Panel is able to carry out its duties.

The individual

Skills and experience will include:
- Recent experience of being in a senior position in the financial services industry for a substantial period, with responsibility for oversight or sign-off of economic analysis.- A sound understanding of the importance of evidence and analysis in the regulatory process, and the impact of regulation on a range of stakeholders including businesses and consumers.- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to critically assess evidence and make sound judgements in the face of uncertainty.- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to make constructive challenge, support colleagues to achieve a shared consensus and make effective recommendations to improve approaches to CBA.- The ability to lead a senior-level group, providing strategic direction and ensuring the Panel fulfils its statutory duties in order to help improve the quality of evidence and analysis underpinning policy development in the FCA and PSR;- Extensive experience of working with a wider range of stakeholders, with a proven ability to interact with and build working relationships with senior and working level staff.- The ability to contribute as an impartial and informed individual and to represent the collective views of a group;- Ability to work effectively at pace and undertake reviews of CBAs to tight deadlines;- Understanding of the FCA and PSR role and objectives, and the impact of FCA and PSR policy and regulation on financial services and the broader economy; and- The ability to act in an independent advisory capacity and to respect the confidential nature of discussions.

The anticipated time commitment is 50-80 days per annum.

All applicants are required to demonstrate that they do not have other interests likely to conflict with their responsibilities as an appointment by the FCA. Any potential conflict of interest should be declared as early as possible in the selection process.
