We regulate financial services firms in the UK, to keep financial markets fair, thriving and effective.

In the Communications division at the FCA, we change opinions and behaviours to enable a fair and thriving financial services market for the good of consumers and the economy.

We’ve recently changed how we do things to deliver more engaging, insight‑led, audience focused communications. If you want to be part of a supportive and fun team, work across a wide range of issues and are ready to be challenged, curious and creative then come and join us. The Strategic Communications and News team is at the heart of what and how the organisation communicates – working with the strategy team to help set and deliver the FCA’s external communication objectives and ensuring that our communication is clear, concise and compelling.

The team is split into three: strategic communication partners, editorial and speech writing, and social media.

• Being a trusted communication adviser, building relationships with business stakeholders and providing strategic guidance, while gaining valuable experience in shaping and delivering key communication.
• Developing the strategic approach for priority areas to deliver FCA communication plan outcomes, whilst building subject matter expertise in specific areas of financial regulation.
• Preparing communication plans to support key announcements and ensuring national queries are fed through to relevant senior communications colleagues where appropriate.
• Identifying key external stakeholders and engaging relevant media, trade bodies and consumer groups to create advocacy and reach target audiences.
• Monitoring media, social media and other commentary to produce coverage updates.
• Taking ownership for projects, delivering high quality outcomes while strengthening your skills within a dynamic communications environment.
• Responding effectively to media inquiries, whilst being part of the out-of-hours rota.
