Requirements of the role
The Listings Department sits within the Market Oversight Directorate (MO) at the Financial Conduct Authority. The Department has a key role in the regulation of capital markets activity in the UK. We are currently recruiting a Senior Associate to join our Listings Department.
The role offers an excellent opportunity to gain a sound and practical working knowledge of primary markets regulation along with in depth exposure to the transactions making the headlines in the business pages, including major IPOs, equity capital raises such as rights issues, Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) activity and non-equity issuances including structured products, sukuks, high yield bonds and medium term note programmes. You will also develop project management and influencing skills, take on significant levels of responsibility and deal with a variety of advisers on technical issues. As your career develops there may be opportunities to work with other areas within the FCA in ad hoc cross-cutting teams.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

- Within a case team, you will act as a principle point of contact with the advisory firms who submit cases to the Listings Department for review and will be responsible for preparing comments on the documents provided by companies and their advisers, managing transaction timetables, and liaising with companies’ advisors
- The work is market-facing, highly time critical, and can require challenging judgments to be made often in pressurised circumstances
