London, United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority Full time

What does this job involve?

The Assurance team is focused on delivering a programme of assurance and you will lead small teams to produce evidenced based work of a high standard, identifying specific findings, root causes and common themes. By doing so, you will provide credible assurance to senior management that risks are being appropriately managed across the FCA and promote continuous improvement in the quality of judgements and risk management.

Through this role you will gain an opportunity to carry out work across the FCA, learn about the range of activities it undertakes and play a direct role in helping the FCA to better deliver on its objectives. You will also work closely with senior management within R&CO and the other FCA Divisions.

The key responsibilities of the post holder will be:

- leading a team conducting desk-based reviews and interrogating information from a wide range of sources, including case management systems, process documents, project board papers and reports to divisional risk and executive committees;
- conducting interviews with internal stakeholders at all levels across the FCA to supplement the document reviews, discuss root causes of issues and identify improvements;
- forming a view on whether a weakness has been identified, understanding why it occurred in the first place and making recommendations;
- drafting succinct and high-quality reports to be presented to business areas and executive-level committees; and
- the opportunity to get involved with other ad-hoc R&CO cross-departmental initiatives and working groups.
- Coaching and mentoring associates to support their development and performance.
- Helping to develop and improve our approach to assurance.
- Sharing technical information and knowledge to develop capability across the Review Team and wider R&CO division.
- Leading on and/ or contributing to internal projects to improve the divisional culture, practices and behaviours.

What will I get from the role?

Working in R&CO, you will be an impartial voice in the FCA, providing strong, independent oversight of the organisation’s activities and approach, through challenge and assurance.

You will gain exposure to a wide variety of business areas and to some of the most important programmes of work across the organisation, including Transformation and Business Plan priorities.

As an Academy business, we place great value on your learning and we offer world-class development opportunities which will assist you in achieving your career aspirations. Our Academy offers you a range of opportunities for personal and professional development.

This role will offer a unique insight into risk management across the FCA and interesting, challenging and reward work with the opportunity to:

- make a real difference to the FCA’s continuous improvement by identifying areas of improvement and lessons to be learned
- build upon your existing skills and knowledge and develop your career
- gain an understanding and experience of different divisions and sectors across
- Work with and influence a wide range of internal stakeholders and in doing so, build your network of contacts
- Line manage, coach and mentor a small team of senior associates
- engage with senior management across the FCA

- Ability to manage complex information on a wide range of issues to extract key risks, to identify trends and ‘join-the-dots’ and to propose pragmatic recommendations and solutions to real problems.
- Proven ability to analyse and make judgements on a wide range of issues and data and to advise on the best way to address those issues.
