Department & Team Information

This role will sit within the Enforcement Triage, Intelligence and Co-ordination Department (ETIC) but will work across both Specialist Intelligence Dept (SID) and ETIC. These departments are at the heart of the FCA’s efforts to prevent harm. We support all areas of the FCA with insight and information to help deliver the FCA agenda – especially around reducing and preventing serious harm. We work with a range of UK and overseas partners as part of an eco-system to tackle issues such as Fraud and Money Laundering which require a joined-up approach from regulators; business; government and the public.

We also undertake the triage of intelligence received, and of matters which may require additional Intelligence Analysis or Enforcement Investigation. Staff in SID and ETIC come from a wide range of backgrounds and have a variety of specialist skills and techniques. The work is hugely varied and fast paced and must be done to a tight set of security guidelines.
