About the FCA

The FCA regulates the conduct of 45,000 firms in the UK to ensure our financial markets are honest, fair and competitive.

The Post Trade Reporting & Enablement (PTRE) team plays a vital role in safeguarding the integrity and transparency of the UK’s financial markets. Sitting within Market Oversight, the team supports the FCA’s mission to promote trusted, orderly, and efficient markets that serve all participants.

In response to the global financial crisis, regulations such as UK EMIR and UK SFTR were introduced to improve visibility into derivatives and securities financing transactions. These reporting regimes, now embedded in UK law, are essential for identifying systemic risks and informing regulatory responses to market events.

Joining PTRE means contributing to a high-impact function that ensures the quality and reliability of post-trade data, supervises firms and trade repositories for compliance, and shapes policy guidance that underpins market stability. The team works across the FCA to support data users and drive improvements in how financial activity is reported and understood.

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a team that directly influences the UK’s position in wholesale markets and helps protect the financial system through smarter, more transparent oversight.

What will you be doing?

• Design and apply analytical tools to extract insights from complex datasets, supporting the team’s strategic objectives and regulatory priorities
• Collaborate with a diverse range of market participants, including investment firms, trading venues, and trade repositories, to support effective market oversight
• Contribute to supervisory initiatives aimed at enhancing the accuracy and reliability of market data submitted to the FCA
• Provide guidance to industry stakeholders on UK EMIR and UK SFTR reporting requirements, helping to improve data quality and regulatory compliance

What will you get from the role?

• Contribute to a wide range of regulatory reporting matters that influence the financial services industry, offering opportunities to deepen subject matter expertise and deliver meaningful outcomes
• Support the supervision of UK EMIR and UK SFTR reporting regimes, helping the FCA advance its strategic objective of reinforcing the UK’s role in global wholesale financial markets
• Collaborate with specialists across the FCA and build constructive relationships with national and international regulatory authorities
