The Role
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is a key part of the regulatory structure in financial services, together with the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the Bank of England.
We are looking to fill a Senior Associate role in the Capital Markets Department within the Supervision, Policy and Competition Division at the FCA.
The Capital Markets Department focuses on supervision and policy relating to key aspects of wholesale financial markets, including primary markets, credit ratings and benchmark providers, trading conduct and transparency, and wholesale Cryptoasset markets.
We have a key role in delivering the FCA's 3-year strategic priority to strengthen our wholesale markets and ensure that the UK continues to be regarded as one of the leading global markets of choice for issuers, intermediaries and investors, when compared to other high-quality markets.
The Senior Associate will join the Credit Rating Agency (CRA) Supervision team.The responsibility for supervising UK CRAs moved from the European Securities & Markets Authority (ESMA) to the FCA on 1 January 2021.
CRAs play a key role in providing an assessment of the creditworthiness of governments, corporates and other issuers of securities.
Where they perform this role effectively, investors are well-informed on the risks of investing in these assets and hence, capital is more efficiently allocated.
These outcomes contribute particularly to the FCA's statutory objective for market integrity, and also its consumer protection objective.The CRA team is responsible for overseeing these firms to ensure this role is performed well and the potential for harm these firms can present is reduced or mitigated.
The CRA team will supervise CRAs according to the UK Credit Rating Agency Regulation and in line with the FCA Approach to Supervision.
What you will be doing
As a dedicated CRA supervisor, you will help to deliver the FCA's supervisory strategy to mitigate or reduce harm to consumers and enhance market integrity.

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
Joining the CRA Supervision team as we continue to expand the team, you will have the opportunity to help deliver the FCA's supervision strategy for CRAs.
You will work in a fast-paced, flexible environment which is well suited to those with strong analytical thinking and communication skills.
