    Are you interested in joining a team that will help shape and deliver the future of Asset Management at the FCA?

    The Role

    This is an exciting opportunity to join the Asset Management and Funds Policy team, at a crucial time for the UK funds industry. The team is responsible for setting and delivering the strategic policy direction for UK asset managers and authorized funds, and acts as a central source of expertise for the FCA and other UK authorities including HM Treasury and the Bank of England.

    With Assets under management the sector is key to the management of the savings and pensions of millions of people across the UK, the EU and globally. They support the process of raising capital from investors who range from pension funds to individuals and corporates, and the efficient allocation of investments across global capital markets. They play a vital role in economic growth by providing funding to businesses at all stages of the life cycle, whether that be a start-up, scale-up or international conglomerate.

    This is a key moment for our economy as we move forward in our new relationship with the EU and seek to rebuild from the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a critical time for the Asset Management Sector and an exciting time to be able to influence and set the policy direction that impact millions of consumers, as well as UK markets.

    We seek a policy maker to join the Asset Management and Funds policy team. The team is responsible for leading on Asset Management and Funds policy issues. The team work closely with colleagues across the FCA, including supervision, and engage with HM Treasury and the Bank of England in developing the UKs domestic policy position. The team feed into and represent the FCA in international standard setting bodies such as IOSCO, on issues related to asset management and are a key contact point for joint FCA/Bank work on non-bank finance risks.

    What you will be doing

    We are looking for someone who want to shape policy making at crucial time for the sector. You will:

  • Drive developing asset management and fund policy issues, and developing the policy into practical solutions and Handbook rules
  • Manage a range of internal and external stakeholders, including HM Treasury and the Bank of England, as well as external trade associations
  • Engage in and support workstreams of standard setting bodies and other regulatory institutions such as the Bank of England

    • What will you get from the role?

    Asset management is in the public and regulatory focus perhaps more than ever. This is a fascinating time to shape the policy as the regulatory framework evolves, and as ESG thematic investing becomes ever more prevalent. You will be at the heart of regulatory decision-making and standard setting for a sector that millions throughout the country rely on. Your work will have a real impact on the industry, UK investors and the UK economy alike.

    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.
