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 Pensions Policy team sits within the Asset Management, Funds and Pensions Market Analysis and Policy Department, in the Supervision, Policy and Competition Division at the FCA.

The pensions and retirement income sector has a significant and wide-ranging impact on everyone’s lives. FCA regulated pensions contain hundreds of billions of pounds of assets which people will rely on to fund their retirement. Pensions are therefore a key priority for the FCA, working in partnership with government and The Pensions Regulator on high profile and far-reaching interventions in the interests of consumers.

This is a critical and exciting time for the pensions sector and wider system. The FCA’s Pensions Policy team is at the forefront of developing policy solutions to ensure that our regulatory framework is fit for the future, as well as supporting Government’s significant reform agenda.

You will join a dedicated team of policy professionals, who work collaboratively and are focused on developing creative and evidence-based policy solutions that benefit consumers, markets and competition. We are committed to sharing our knowledge and encouraging new ideas.

What will you be doing?

You will:

• Develop and deliver robust and practical policy solutions by using data and evidence

• Identify and manage a range of internal and external stakeholders, building rapport and constructive relationships and taking a collaborative and flexible approach
• Distil complex issues into succinct messages and present clearly and concisely to a variety of stakeholders, orally and in writing
