Digital Assets Supervisor

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.

We are looking for a talented individual to take a prominent role in our supervision of cryptoasset firms registered with the FCA under the Money Laundering Regulations. This is a role in the Strategic & International Team in Digital Assets Market Interventions (MIDA).

The department is responsible for supervising Cryptoasset firms’ compliance with the Money Laundering Regulations (MLRs) and ensuring that firms maintain appropriately robust financial crime controls.

What will you be doing?

The team is responsible for supervising some of the largest cryptoasset firms operating in the UK. As part of this, the team is required to identify, support and mitigate risks of potential harm arising in these firms, including rapidly intervening where firms are at risk of being used as conduits for illegal activity, or pose harm to consumers or market integrity, for example perpetuating scams, fraud, or high-risk activities.

The team also works closely with colleagues in our Authorisations teams, including providing support and assistance to Change in Control applications, and setting supervisory strategies for newly registered firms. The team’s remit will change and broaden as the FCA assumes new regulatory responsibilities in relation to crypto.

This is a great opportunity to work in an exciting, high priority area for the FCA, and to play a key role in a fast-moving, highly innovative sector.
