Use intelligence, data and regulatory experience to identify emerging risks early, support innovative approaches to stop criminal activity and deliver meaningful outcomes across the financial system.
Build effective partnerships across the FCA, government and law enforcement agencies, contributing to significant investigations and developing expertise in financial crime, payments and digital assets regulation.

Effective communication skills, with the ability to explain complex issues clearly and professionally, both in writing and verbally.
Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities and deliver high-quality outcomes in a fast-paced and evolving environment.
