    The team/department

    Financial Crime Market Interventions provides the dedicated specialist resource and expertise to help the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) meet its financial crime responsibilities, as contained in the FCA's wider objective on integrity and in its public financial crime commitment.

    The department is comprised of four Financial Crime Specialist Supervision teams, a Sanctions Supervisory Team, a Risk, Data & Strategy Team and a Financial Crime Public Commitments Strategy & Delivery Team. Working together with others inside and outside the FCA, we deal with issues involving money laundering, financial sanctions and bribery and corruption.

  • 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 plus bank holidays
