The Role

There are few jobs where you can make a real difference for all users of financial products, to the 2 million people who work in the UK Financial Services industry, and to the stability of our economy as a whole.

Our people are integral to our success as an organisation, working alongside industry, visiting firms and speaking to consumers every day as we strive to ensure the FCA is setting the standard for other regulatory bodies across the world.

The Retail Banking Directorate is responsible for the supervision of retail banking activities in the UK including those undertaken by the largest and most complex retail banking groups. We deliver the conduct agenda through issues and products work in the UK retail banking sector, lead on firm-specific, cross-firm and event-driven work, as well as developing and delivering the supervisory strategy for retail banks operating in the UK.

An opportunity has arisen for a Lead Associate to join the Projects Team on a part time, job share basis. We're looking for a Supervisor with strong analytical and leadership skills and the ability to engage effectively with a broad range of stakeholders.

What does this job involve?

As a Lead Associate, you will make a material contribution to thematic, cross-firm and project work that is undertaken to address the highest priority risk to consumers relating to everyday banking.

This includes the scoping and design of projects, implementing agreed methodologies (which might include desk-based work and/or onsite assessments) and finally developing mitigation plans for firms and thematic reports for use by the industry and consumers.

You will work in a fast-paced, challenging and supportive environment with a team of people who want to deliver the same excellence you do. You can expect to be involved in challenging senior management at firms to deliver better customer outcomes, including discussion regarding the culture within their firms; and to contribute toward the identification of sector-wide issues. There will also be opportunities to challenge internal processes and suggest changes that lead to better outcomes and efficient use of resources.
