Associate in Financial Promotions

4 weeks ago

London, United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority Full time

Background

The FCA is responsible for regulating the conduct of 50,000 firms and we’re focused on creating a fair and more resilient financial system.

We are a diverse organisation and aim to be representative of the whole UK. We want to reflect the society we serve better, we want the best people to work for us and we want our workplace to be inclusive.

Our people are integral to our success. All of our 3,000 plus people are committed to delivering in the interests of consumers and ensuring they receive the good outcomes they should when using financial services in the UK. Working at the FCA feels different to working at many other organisations. The issues our people deal with on a daily basis can often be in the news and have implications for everyone in the UK. This makes working here an incredibly satisfying role. For many, this sense of making a contribution to the public good is one of the most rewarding aspects of our work. As a result, there is a strong culture of support within teams and across the organisation to deliver our priorities.

We are currently recruiting for a Supervisor to join our Financial Promotions & Enforcement Taskforce (FPET) which sits within the Consumer Investments Directorate. Our department has a wide remit covering both authorised and unauthorised activities in all sectors. FPET’s overarching role is to reduce harm arising from:

- Non-compliant financial promotions issued by authorised firms
- Unauthorised activity, scams, fraud and breaches of the Financial Promotions Order by unauthorised entities
- Scams and high-risk, non-standard investments where authorised firms are involved in the production and distribution of products
- Other unregulated activity conducted by authorised firms that has the potential to cause significant customer harm and financial loss.

Who are we looking for?

We believe in data-led, proactive regulation and are keen to hear from people who can think creatively about how to use data to target the highest risk firms and deliver consumer-focused outcomes.

We are looking for assertive, curious and focused people who are willing to learn about financial services regulation.

You will have:

- good analytical and problem-solving skills, and sound judgement.
- the ability to process and interpret often complex information and work collaboratively as part of a team.
- effective communication skills and the ability to influence others.
- the ability to manage other important priorities/projects alongside day-to-day tasks.

The right skills are more important than the right background. Financial services experience is not essential for all roles.

What does the job involve?
- Developing assertive supervision and mitigation strategies, setting clear expectations to firms, influencing, persuading and where appropriate, using formal powers to change conduct behaviour to deliver better outcomes for consumers
- Analysis of the business models/strategies of firms, and identifying how conduct risks could cause harm to consumers and/or markets
- Developing constructive working relationships with senior management in firms
- Building strong working relationships with internal stakeholders who can support the delivery of the supervision strategies
- Escalating issues as appropriate, including proposing proportionate, outcome focused solutions to FCA senior management and relevant governing committees

What will I get from the role?
- A stimulating and exciting environment with varied and challenging work.
- A unique insight into the workings of firms across the sector and have the opportunity to influence firms' senior management and behaviour.
- High profile work, with exposure to senior stakeholders at the FCA.
- Exposure to a diverse cross divisional FCA approach that includes Prudential, Resolution, Financial Crime and Enforcement action.
- The ability to influence stakeholders, and work with a group of talented high performing individuals.

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, including our MSC in financial regulation, Advanced Managers programme, sponsored study and more.
