Requirements of the role

The FCA regulates the conduct of 45,000 firms in the UK to ensure our financial markets are honest, fair and competitive. Follow this link to find out more About the FCA.

The Financial Promotions and Enforcement Task Force (FPET) is a division straddling the regulatory perimeter and has a wide remit covering both authorised and unauthorised business, overlapping between regulated and unregulated firms covering all sectors across the FCA. The division has a key role in identifying emerging issues and taking prompt robust action to reduce harm. This work is a vital element of the FCA’s supervisory approach, having high visibility at senior levels with the potential to shape the regulatory landscape.

The Proactive Monitoring team conducts proactive surveillance and monitoring at the boundaries of the perimeter to detect and pursue firms that are unauthorised and many of which are knowingly running scams. The team also carries out reactive casework. The team intervenes in real-time preventing harm to consumers and protecting market integrity working with multiple partners to help drive down the incidence and impact of fraud. The team’s work has the potential to be high-profile, market sensitive and in the media spotlight.
