Do you have a broad understanding of financial and risk markets, along with applied knowledge of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) Rulebook? If you’re looking for a challenging, varied and high-profile role that offers significant responsibility and influence, a contract with the Waivers Team, part of the Permissions, Decisions and Reporting Division at the FSA could give your career a major impetus.

New prudential liquidity rules and guidance contained within the Prudential Sourcebook for Banks, Building Societies and Investment Firms (BIPRU) are having a direct impact on the work of the Waivers team. The team will be assessing complex and high-risk waiver applications from up to 350 financial services firms, before making recommendations whether or not to waive or modify the FSA rules.

Your role will focus specifically on liquidity modifications. This will involve building relationships and managing external stakeholders while their applications progress, as well as co-ordinating the whole application process across the FSA.

We are looking for treasury, liquidity risk, operational risk or credit risk experience gained in an FSA-regulated firm – a bank or investment firm would be ideal, together with a detailed understanding of the international liquidity regime. In addition, you will need strong relationship-building skills, plus the ability to work under the pressure of tight deadlines.
