Do you want to shape the future of Cryptoassets regulation as a Senior Associate in the Crypto Policy team at the FCA?

The Department

The Crypto Policy team sits in the Payments and Digital Assets Department and plays a critical role in leading the FCA's policy work on cryptoassets.

This sector continues to grow at great pace, creating both opportunities for consumers and regulated participants, but also new risks that we must stay ahead of.

Regulation of the cryptoassets sector is already underway and Her Majesty's Treasury (HMT) has proposed bringing much more into the remit of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

It is the Crypto Policy team's role to devise and drive this work forward, liaising with multiple internal stakeholders, HMT, Bank of England, industry, and international regulators to propose a future regulatory framework.

What you will be doing

As a Senior Associate in the team, you will have the opportunity to lead and support on policy areas conducting research, engaging with teams across the FCA, studying business models and risks, proposing, and advising on their regulatory treatment as part of policy development.

You will build depth and breadth of knowledge as you support the team's wider work.

You will contribute to public consultation on FCA rules or guidance, as well as work to ensure FCA priorities are reflected in changes taken forward by others.

You will consult with government, other regulators, industry, and other opinion formers shaping the market. You will also provide training, advice, and briefings about crypto policy issues to FCA colleagues and senior leadership

This role is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of policy in the FCA in an evolving area of policy.

You will have the opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge of the market dynamics and regulations that will shape the future regulation of the cryptoasset sector.

As an employer, the FCA places value on your learning, and we offer world-class development opportunities which will assist you in achieving your career aspirations.

We can support professional qualifications in data science or financial analysis for a motivated person, depending on your profile

A noncontributory Pension of at least 8% of basic salary each month (there are several contribution levels that increase depending on your age up to 12% a month once you reach age 35)
