About the Role
The Integrated Planning Team plays an important role in helping the FCA make well-informed, joined-up decisions about its priorities, people, and resources. This role offers the opportunity to improve how the FCA plans, prioritizes, and delivers its work by bringing together planning, data, and insight from across the organization.
Responsibilities
- Shape the development of planning data and technology across strategic, annual, and in-year planning, ensuring decision-makers have timely, high-quality insight.
- Design and implement planning data models and standards, integrating financial, people, delivery, risk, and dependency information into a clear, consistent view.
- Review and assess divisional plans, using data-driven analysis to assess affordability, capacity, deliverability, risk, and key trade-offs.
- Develop dashboards and management information that translate complex data into clear, actionable insight for senior leaders and governance forums.
- Partner with colleagues across Planning, Finance, People, Risk, and Technology to improve data quality, align requirements, and enable joined-up decision-making.
- Build capability across the planning community through technical leadership, coaching, and guidance, while continuously improving tools, processes, and ways of working.
Requirements
- Demonstrated experience designing and applying data models, standards, and information structures to support complex planning, reporting, and decision-making in large organizations.
- Extensive experience analyzing and constructively challenging business plans, investment proposals, or similar submissions, using data to assess affordability, capacity, deliverability, risk, and dependencies.
- Demonstrated ability to develop dashboards, management information, and decision-support reporting that translate complex data into clear, actionable insight for senior stakeholders.
- Ability to provide technical leadership within a specialist area, using coaching, quality assurance, and guidance to enable high-quality delivery without formal line management responsibility.
- Well-developed analytical judgment and problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, question assumptions, identify trade-offs, and turn complex information into clear, decision-ready insight.
- Deep understanding of how large, complex organizations operate, with the ability to connect strategic priorities to operational, financial, people, risk, and delivery considerations.
- Effective stakeholder management and communication, with the credibility to provide constructive challenge and communicate complex technical issues clearly to audiences at all levels, including senior leaders.
- Ability to operate effectively within structured governance environments, applying sound professional judgment where information is incomplete, priorities compete, and decisions have organization-wide impact.
- Effective collaborative skills, with experience working across organizational boundaries—particularly with Finance, People, Risk, and Technology - to improve ways of working and support joined-up decision-making.
