4 weeks ago

London, United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority Full time

The Financial Conduct Authority is a key part of the regulatory structure in financial services. Together with the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Bank of England, we work to make financial markets work well for consumers of financial services.
- The Competition Division - is home to economists, lawyers, accountants and competition practitioners who are dedicated to ensuring the FCA has access to best possible analysis as part of its mission to protect consumers.
- Much of our analysis is focused on ensuring financial service firms are competing in the interests of consumers. Our General Insurance Market Study, for example, found evidence of firms gradually increasing the price of different types of insurance upon renewal. This ‘price-walking’ was a result of complex and opaque pricing techniques used by firms. It meant loyal customers were paying significantly higher prices and were sometimes being discouraged from shopping around. The analysis carried out in the Competition Division supported an intervention to ban differential pricing between new and existing customers and introduced remedies to make it easier for customers to get out of policies that renew automatically.
- We are looking to recruit two Senior Associates to work as competition policy practitioners within the Competition Division. As a Senior Associate within the Competition Division, you will advise on how better outcomes for consumers can be achieved through effective competition. You will help to embed competition thinking within our developing approach and will work to ensure that we are equipped to identify harms that are likely to crystalise as a result of competition not working to the benefit of consumers.

- Advocating for competition with internal stakeholders, helping colleagues to achieve our competition objective-
- As part of the competition team, you will get to investigate whether and why financial services markets might not be working well for consumers. You will also help work out how financial services markets could be improvedYou will also get to present your results in interesting ways and to a range of audiences including senior colleagues.-
