The Financial Crime Market Intervention Department provides the dedicated specialist resource and expertise to help the FCA meet its financial crime responsibilities, as contained in the FCA’s wider objective on integrity and in its specific freestanding duty on financial crime.

The department is comprised of four Financial Crime Specialist Supervision teams, a Sanctions Supervisory Team, a Risk, Data & Strategy Team (RDS) and a Financial Crime Public Commitments Strategy & Delivery Team. Working together with others inside and outside the FCA, we deal with issues involving money laundering, financial sanctions and bribery and corruption.

The Financial Crime Market Interventions department does not cover market abuse or fraud.

What will you be doing?

This role sits in one of the Financial Crime Market Intervention Department’s four supervision teams. The teams focus on the effectiveness of firms’ financial crime systems and controls. This is done through a range of supervisory work including assessments, visits, and interventions of regulated firms. We work closely with front line supervision to assess firms’ compliance with relevant rules, laws and guidance.

As a Senior Associate you will manage your own case load, including the delivery of our proactive supervisory assessment programmes, a portfolio of reactive casework and relationship-manage major firms.  You will handle the more complex pieces of work, chair meetings and supervise visits, and be expected to make appropriate judgements on regulatory actions following proactive or reactive assessments.  You will be responsible for ensuring that the objectives of the Financial Crime Market Intervention department are delivered through your activities. You will work with a variety of internal and external stakeholders to ensure that they are kept informed and engaged as appropriate.

You will report to a Financial Crime Market Intervention Department Manager.
