Financial Conduct Authority
Regulating financial services firms and financial markets in the UK, https://www.fca.org.uk/careers
Requirements
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 for more About the FCA.
We’re seeking a collaborative professional to join our Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and Investment-Based Crowdfunding (IBCF) team within the Consumer Investments Directorate. This team oversees innovative firms that connect borrowers and early‑stage businesses with individual and institutional investors. You’ll help supervise firms offering high‑risk investment products, using data‑led insights and proactive engagement to identify and address failing firms & financial crime and support responsible practices & positive consumer outcomes.
You will have the opportunity to handle case ownership, acting as the primary point of contact for supervising firms, including potential exposure to the use of interventions and wider FCA Handbook tools / remedial actions in cases of serious consumer and market harm.
P2P and IBCF firms are positioned in a systemically important retail investment market which is subject to increasing government focus as a key area to unlock growth in the UK economy, leading to several interesting supervisory challenges. In addition, there is the potential for the P2P and IBCF sectors to mirror the broader market growth of private credit and private equity, as smaller retail‑level vehicles of the popular asset classes. For instance, our firms are starting to engage with the new POP and PISCES regimes.
The role offers exposure to bespoke business models, financial analysis, policy development and cross‑team collaboration, with hybrid working across our London and Edinburgh offices. If you bring curiosity, willingness to learn, and a focus on proportionate but effective consumer protection, we’d welcome hearing from you.
