Regulating financial services firms and financial markets in the UK, https://www.fca.org.uk/careers
The Market Oversight Data and Intelligence (MODI) department provides high‑quality data, systems, and analytical tools to support effective market oversight. It maintains core data infrastructure, manages reporting regimes that improve market transparency, and ensures regulators have detailed insight into transactions across securities and derivatives markets. We also oversee Market Registers, such as the National Storage Mechanism and Official List of Securities. MODI operates as a flexible department. There are some responsibilities that will involve working very closely with other teams.
Within MODI, the Data Engineering and Technology (DET) team delivers insights by transforming large, complex datasets into usable intelligence. It brings together expertise in data engineering, data science, and software development to support Market Oversight, particularly in monitoring Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities (FICC) markets and identifying behaviours that may threaten market integrity.
As a Senior Associate in DET, you would work end‑to‑end with large‑scale market data, using cloud and big data technologies to prepare, analyse, and present insights through dashboards or analytical outputs. The role involves supporting market surveillance, contributing to investigations, and improving how the FCA uses data to monitor markets. It is a technically challenging and high‑impact position, offering opportunities to build data science skills, develop financial market knowledge, and work alongside experienced practitioners in a well‑established team.
