**Primary Location** UK-ENG-London

**Job** Economics

**Organisation** 220000 - FS STRATEGY AND RISK

**Job Posting** 17-Mar-2023, 9:32:21 AM

The Bank of England is the UK's central bank. Our mission is to deliver monetary and financial stability for the British people.

The Bank of England is a diverse organisation. Each of its 4,000 plus people are committed to public service and dedicated to promoting the good of the people of the United Kingdom by maintaining monetary and financial stability.

We’re looking for a Policy Adviser to join our Emerging Risks and Special Projects (ERSP) Division, which is part of the Financial Stability, Strategy and Risk (FSSR) Directorate. The FSSR Directorate works towards a financial system that serves households and businesses in bad times as well as good; our responsibilities include helping the Financial Policy Committee identify risks to UK financial stability and developing policy solutions to address them. FSSR sits within the Financial Stability Deputy Governorship (DGFS) - you can read more about DGFS and the Bank’s structure here.

Within FSSR, Emerging Risks and Special Projects (ERSP) is in charge of understanding and mitigating risks to financial stability generated by the financial system as a whole, or from emerging developments. Our current areas of focus are: FS risk assessment and policy design for crypto and digital money; designing and running the first stress test of non-banks and the UK financial system; and developing thinking on system-wide stress testing.

**Job description**

As a Policy Adviser to join Emerging Risks and Special Projects, you’ll be focused primarily on analysing and modelling the macrofinancial implications of new forms of digital money, such as Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) and stablecoins, and on providing policy advice with regards to their design or regulation, from a macroprudential risk perspective. You can read about the Bank’s previous work on these issues here, and here. You will be working on analysis and policy advice to support the work of the Financial Policy Committee, collaborating with colleagues from other areas of the Bank including Monetary Analysis, Bank Supervision, the CBDC Unit and Markets. You may also work on the FS risks posed by cryptoassets as well as their underlying technology. You can read about the Bank’s previous work on these issues here.

All Bank colleagues create personalised objectives with their manager. Yours might include:

- Leading and producing high quality analysis and modelling of the financial stability issues outlined above;
- Communicating analysis effectively by drafting notes and supporting presentations to policymakers, or contributing to Bank of England publications;
- Making time to support the development and wellbeing of your colleagues

Please note we will shortly be advertising for another Policy Adviser role focused on system-wide stress testing in Emerging Risks and Special Projects, which may be of interest to you. This role will be advertised on our careers website.

**Role Requirements**

To apply, you do not need to be a trained economist or to have worked on financial stability issues before. We are looking for enthusiastic applicants who are willing to learn, have a practical approach and are committed to working with colleagues to improve diversity and inclusion.

**Minimum (Essential) Criteria**
- A keen interest in and curiosity about financial stability issues and policy decisions aimed at improving the resilience of the UK financial system.
- Ability to work collaboratively and openly with others, seeking diverse perspectives and challenging assumptions
- Strong analytical skills and a track record in using data and developing models (this _could_ include specific expertise in macro-financial topics, but analytical expertise in other areas could also be suitable).
- A high-level understanding of the role of both banks and non-bank financial intermediaries within the financial system and with regards to the real economy.
- A demonstrated commitment to diversity and inclusion.
- Ability to communicate clearly and convincingly with decision-makers and wider partners (both in writing and verbally), including explaining technical material in an accessible way.
- Ability to drive multiple work streams independently with a focus on delivery.

**Desirable Criteria**
- Willingness and ability to come up with new ways of doing things, both with regards to substance underpinning the work (eg analytical methods) and processes.
- Previous experience of working on macrofinancial issues, either in the UK or internationally.

The Bank values diversity and inclusion - we play a key role in maintaining monetary and financial stability, and to do that effectively, we believe we need a workforce that reflects the society we serve. One way we support diversity and inclusion is through our staff-run networks, w
