Innovation Consulting and Change Specialist

Financial Conduct Authority - Permanent, Full-Time

Background

An innovative industry demands an innovative regulator.

The FCA’s Innovation department is looking for talented, motivated and outcome focused individuals with varied experience and backgrounds to join our enthusiastic and diverse team. We sit within the Data, Technology and Innovation Division, which is at the forefront of transforming the FCA as we meet the demands of a digital regulatory future.

We support the FCA to be a progressive and forward-thinking regulator. We protect consumers, encourage competition and work with innovative financial services firms to deliver the best products and services that they can. We see our role as enabling the financial services sector to achieve its potential. In a nutshell, we want to support innovative businesses in the interest of consumers and markets, not just scrutinise them.

We are currently recruiting an Engagement and Co-ordination lead to join our Change and Development team

Change and Development is a new team within Innovation. Technology is rapidly changing financial services and we must ensure that we evolve alongside the industry we regulate. Our aim is to be at the forefront of regulatory innovation - over the last few years our Regulatory Sandbox, firm support model, and TechSprint programme have been adopted by other regulators around the world, as well as producing cutting-edge thinking in sectors such as artificial intelligence and emerging technology.

In the Change team, our role is to ask, “what’s next?”. And then build it.

We’re responsible for the department’s transformation agenda, including scoping and developing new service lines and initiatives, optimising existing ones, as well as our external and internal engagement programme.

In this role you will work with a broad array of stakeholders on exciting cross-cutting sectors. We work closely with technologists, financial institutions, start-ups, academia and peer regulators to ensure that FCA Innovation is a modern and bleeding-edge regulatory function.

For anyone thinking of joining, a strong interest in emerging technology such as AI, CryptoAssets, Machine Learning, DLT and blockchain, cloud and digital transformation would be a plus.

What does the role involve? What are the key responsibilities?

In this role you will lead on the design and delivery of the change programme within innovation. It’s also an opportunity to work across the whole innovation department in a project orientated approach.- Supporting the manager to build a change function that ensures our market-facing services are at the forefront of regulatory innovation- Creating a structured approach to developing and evolving our existing services (such as the regulatory sandbox, Innovation Pathways) as well as scoping potential new service lines and initiatives.- Championing and embedding innovative approaches to complex problem solving into our department’s delivery frameworks (e.g. Design Thinking, Systems Thinking, Futures Thinking etc.) and facilitating these through stakeholders workshops and other sessions.- Responsible for building a change pipeline, scoped and appropriately prioritised to understand resources required and expected business value.- As well as setting Change strategy, work across the department and get involved with hands on delivery of high priority initiatives.- An ability to bring project management discipline and rigour to project delivery through appropriate methods tools and practices eg agile.- Be adaptable and pragmatic. The FinTech and RegTech sector is a fast-moving industry and change doesn’t follow a straight line. Be able to adjust to new systems, technologies, processes, and policy changes.- Creative freedom: we are a team that values new ideas and approaches, and you will be encouraged and supported to develop new ideas and given the backing to implement them.- The opportunity to lead on and take ownership of the overall Innovation change strategy. The Innovation Department has been in growth mode, growing in terms of both numbers as well as new teams, capabilities and market facing services. This is an exciting time to shape our functions and build the next iteration of regulatory innovation.- This is a high profile and cross-cutting role - our stakeholders range from incumbents and start-ups to tech firms and Government. We also have a significant international presence with our Global Financial Innovation (GFIN) Network.- Exposure to new ideas, opportunity to increase knowledge and expertise of the technology sector, and to build networks within the FinTech and RegTech ecosystems.- A dynamic and diverse team of colleagues who are passionate about their work and believe in open collaboration
