The team/department

The Benchmarks Policy team leads on the FCA domestic and international policy development and implementation of rules in relation to benchmarks and their ecosystem (i.e. benchmarks administrators, users and contributors). Benchmarks play a key role in the financial services infrastructure and are widely used in financial products including in mortgages, investment funds, derivatives and bonds / securitisations.

Our work includes developing and implementing domestic policy relating to the UK Benchmarks Regulation, as well as international policy relating to the IOSCO principles for financial benchmarks, working closely with our Supervision and Legal colleagues across the FCA, as well as governments and other regulators within and outside the UK.

Our work in Benchmarks Policy contributes in particular to 3 of the 13 FCA strategic commitments; 1) strengthening the UK's position in wholesale markets, 2) preparing financial services for the future through the Smarter Regulatory Framework (SRF) - working closely with HMT in particular, and 3) our strategy for positive change on ESG - working alongside our ESG policy team.

What you will be doing

- Contribute deep policy expertise and knowledge sharing with colleagues- Lead and support our team’s contribution to developing Benchmarks policy on a wide range of policy topics (possibly including ESG benchmarks related topics)- Work with and influence stakeholders (internal and external) to deliver policy outcomes at UK and international level- Participate in a constructive working relationship internally and externally with other authorities in the official sector (UK and international) and industry stakeholders to understand and resolve challenges- Represent the team in a professional manner with internal and external stakeholders, providing an effective and constructive liaison point within the department, across the FCA and externally- Lead and contribute to the drafting and delivery of internal and external communications to ensure our internal comms/briefings, as well as market expectations, are conveyed clearly and are well-understood by our audience- Be flexible to support other team’s workstreams in the department / directorate

What will you get from the role?

Our competitive flexible benefits scheme gives you the opportunity to create a personalised benefits package, tailored to suit your lifecycle. You can use this allowance to purchase additional benefits such as dental or cycle to work or you have the option top up your base salary by taking this as cash. Core benefits that you will receive as standard are:
- 25 days holiday per year- Private healthcare with Bupa- A non-contributory Pension of at least 8% of your basic salary each month (there are several contribution levels that increase depending on your age - up to 12% a month once you reach the age of 35)- Life assurance of eight times your basic salary- Income protection

We support hybrid working which means you will be able to work from home up to 60% of the time over a month with the remainder of your time in one of our three office locations.

You will also get:
- To use your analytical skills to help to ensure the team delivers against the FCA’s strategy and business plan commitments and ultimately delivers against the core proposals- As a key member of the team, you will contribute to delivering complex and high-profile projects- You may also represent the FCA externally. If so, you and your outputs will have a high exposure across the FCA and outside- Specific to the Benchmark Policy Team, you will be at the front line shaping the future of the UK BMR (e.g., via the Smarter Regulatory Framework)

The skills and experience you’ll have

Minimum- Previous experience of financial markets and associated regulation- Previous experience of reviewing and developing solutions to solve problems

Essential- Excellent drafting and oral communication skills- Ability to review complex issues, identify key themes, make judgements supported by evidence and logic, and present conclusions and recommendations to senior stakeholders- Evidence of working effectively and inclusively as part of a team, and building and maintaining relationships with a wide range of stakeholders at all levels- Ability to project plan and prioritise work effectively
