Regulatory Project Manager – MiFID II / Capital Markets – CONTRACT

Our client, an international crypto institution, is looking for a Project Manager to drive forward their UK and EU licencing applications. This role is key to their UK and EU expansion plans and will lead the coordination of its regulatory interactions, applications and filings, working closely with the PRA and FCA and EU equivalents.

What you will be doing:

• Act as the day-to-day coordination point for the firm’s interactions with the PRA and FCA in the UK and with national competent authorities across the EU.
• Project-manage licence applications end to end, including MiCA authorisation and UK cryptoasset authorisation, building the plans and trackers that keep every workstream on schedule.
• Coordinate the preparation of application packs across legal, compliance, finance, technology, and governance: business plans, governance documentation, prudential evidence, safeguarding arrangements, and AML frameworks.
• Own recurring regulatory filings, notifications, and reporting across UK and EU regimes, keeping deadlines met and records audit-ready.
• Work across the regulations shaping capital markets and crypto, including MiFID II and MiCA, keeping the business current as supervisory expectations evolve.
• Provide clear status reporting to senior stakeholders, flagging risks and dependencies early.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience managing regulatory applications, filings, or authorisation projects in financial services, ideally involving the FCA and/or PRA.
• Strong working knowledge of at least one of MiFID II, MiCA, or the UK cryptoasset regime, and the ability to get across the wider landscape quickly.
• Genuine project management strength: planning, tracking, stakeholder coordination, and delivery against hard regulatory deadlines.
• Comfort operating across multiple jurisdictions and both UK and EU regulatory frameworks.
• Precise, confident written communication.
