This is a substantive policy role for someone who enjoys getting to grips with complex issues and turning analysis into clear, practical outcomes. You will manage a varied and evolving portfolio of capital-markets and wholesale-policy work, develop credible positions with members and represent UK Finance with government, regulators and other stakeholders.
The role suits a strong learner and thoughtful problem-solver who is comfortable taking ownership, working with ambiguity and building consensus.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead policy workstreams from initial research and member engagement through to agreed positions, consultation responses and advocacy.
- Confidence managing relationships and discussions with senior stakeholders, and in running effective member committees and working groups, including where views differ, and helping groups build consensus around practical outcomes.

- Contribute to thought leadership and horizon scanning on the future of UK capital markets, including market modernisation and new technology.
- Work closely with colleagues on cross-cutting priorities and contribute flexibly as the team’s portfolio evolves.
What are we looking for
