**Job summary**:
**About HM Treasury**

If you’re interested in making a difference to people’s lives, the Treasury can offer you an exciting opportunity to influence decision making that affects the whole of the UK. Working at the heart of government, we collaborate across government to promote responsible public spending and drive strong and sustainable economic growth.

Our work ranges from protecting customers through the regulation of the financial sector, helping to reduce carbon emissions and creating a greener economy, to promoting British trade around the world and supporting people across the country on jobs, growth and more.

We are part of the Darlington Economic Campus, a pioneering new cross-government hub which brings people together to play an active role in the most important issues of the day whilst working closer to the communities we serve. The campus provides the opportunity for people from all over the UK to help shape the future of the country, and our flexible working practices ensure you can collaborate effectively with our partners. It’s central government, made more accessible to you

**Job description**:
**About the Group**

**Financial Services Group**

The Financial Services Group advises the government on how to promote a stable and efficient financial services sector, to deliver excellent outcomes for consumers and business, enhance the UK’s position as a global hub for financial services and support economic growth across the country.

The financial services sector is important to the UK economy - providing significant numbers of jobs and making a large contribution to the UK’s economic output. It also provides essential services to individuals - for example, helping them to purchase goods with ease, buy their first home, and plan for their retirement. During the COVID pandemic, it played a critical role in supporting individuals and businesses - for example, in providing payment holidays for individuals and businesses affected by the pandemic and working with the government to deliver Bounce Back Loans.

We ensure that financial services businesses such as banks, investment firms, financial advisors and insurers are well-regulated. Ensuring firms treat customers fairly, customers have access to a range of financial services as a result of competition in the market, and there are appropriate remedies in place when things go wrong.

We work on a significant international agenda which includes promoting openness and trading links between the UK and countries all around the world, including through Free Trade Agreements and other international dialogues and negotiations. To do this we work closely with colleagues in offices overseas from the Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office and the Department for International Trade.

Working with stakeholders is key in Financial Services - for example, we work closely with the independent regulators to help them fulfil their roles, consult consumer groups on issues affecting them, and work with the sector on wider issues like the net-zero agenda.

**About the Team**

**Pension Investment Team**

The Pensions Investment team is a new team brought together to make sure that the £2 trillion+ of assets held in private pensions are invested in ways which benefit both savers and the UK economy. The work is varied, interesting and high up the political priority list
- attracting significant interest from Ministers and enjoying strong support across political parties as a key means of delivering growth.

We are responsible within HMT for driving consolidation in the defined contribution pensions market to improve returns for savers; and for shaping the narrative and formulating policy proposals on pension funds’ UK investments with their consequent impacts on business investment, UK capital markets and growth.

Projects so far have included guiding HMG’s involvement in an industry-led commitment to invest 5% of assets in defined contribution (DC) pensions in unlisted companies; and proposing new rules requiring DC schemes to disclose their UK investment levels. We work in partnership across government with the Department for Work and Pensions, as well as the Financial Conduct Authority, the Pensions Regulator and senior industry partners.

We are passionate about helping our people thrive, by building an encourag
