Requirements of the role

About the FCA:

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 payments team leads on the policy that makes payments work. The work touches the lives of everyone in the UK, making sure that payments are fast, efficient, reliable and safe.

The payments landscape is undergoing rapid change. Increasing digitalisation, the emergence of new ways of paying, the evolution of Open Banking data sharing and payment initiation services that give consumers ways to interact with their bank accounts in new ways. All these developments are underpinned by payment services regulation.

What will you be doing?

As a Senior Associate in the team you will have ownership of key payments policy issues, engaging with teams across the FCA and analysing information to develop proposals. You will be helped and supported to build a depth of knowledge, as well as develop your skillset.

You will contribute to drafting public consultations on changes to FCA rules or guidance, as well as work to ensure FCA priorities are reflected in changes taken forward by others. You will have opportunities to interact with government, other regulators and industry participants.

You will also contribute to advice and briefings about payment policy issues to FCA colleagues and senior leadership. We are looking for two Senior Associates to join the division.
