At the FCA, we’re creating a fair and more resilient financial system. We’re establishing more transparent relationships between financial services and customers, building trust in financial markets, and protecting vulnerable consumers.
We’re currently on an exciting journey as we drive forward significant organisational, people, process, and technology transformation to become a more forward-thinking, proactive regulator. Significant improvements in digital enablement, business intelligence, market data and information management maturity are all being pursued to maintain our position as a world leader in financial services regulation.
We’re looking for a Director to lead the Cross-Cutting Policy and Strategy Directorate (CCPS), within the Supervision Policy & Competition Division. This is an exciting opportunity to lead a Directorate that is at the heart of FCA policy-making and consumer protection. CCPS plays a pivotal role in leading and supporting delivery of many of the FCA’s highest-profile policies, including the Consumer Duty, Smarter Regulatory Framework, and AI policy.
CCPS both leads the delivery of cross-cutting policies and supports other Divisions across the FCA to deliver. It plays a critical role in leading policies that affect multiple financial services markets, such as redress, prudential, AI and consumer policy. It also plays a central function, co-ordinating projects where multiple Divisions have responsibility for delivery, such as the Smarter Regulatory Framework programme of file transfers, the Consumer Duty, and our response to support consumers affected by cost of living pressures.
The Director of CCPS will take a key leadership role at the FCA, serving as the overall head of the policy profession. They will manage a senior leadership team and the resources of the CCPS Directorate, as well as working in a matrix fashion with teams across other areas of SPC and the FCA to ensure effective co-ordination and delivery of cross-sector work.

International trade is a fundamental driver of economic growth. History has shown that open, trading economies generate wealth, create jobs, increase consumer choice and value for money and can lead to higher standards of living. UK Export Finance (UKEF) is the UK's export credit agency, playing a vital role in supporting British businesses in overseas markets. With over 100 years of experience, we provide loans, guarantees, and insurance to help UK companies succeed in international trade. Our mission is to ensure no viable UK export fails due to lack of finance or insurance.
UKEF has recently undergone an internal consultation to review its current structure of the Business Group (BG) and a decision has been made to create two new distinct directorates, in order to fully focus on specific customer requirements and to aid product delivery for the respective markets in which UKEF support. Each directorate will be headed by a Director who will also be a member of the UKEF’s Executive Committee; in practice the co-Heads will work closely and collaboratively together in the interests of the whole Group to deliver a vision of “One BG”. By creating two separate directorates each Director will be able to focus on key deliverables for their respective markets.
The Director of Large Corporates and International will lead a newly formed directorate consisting of the Civil, Infrastructure & Energy division, the Aero & Defence division, and the origination division. Origination also includes UKEF’s international network which sources many of our new buyer financing opportunities globally, with the underwriting teams who then execute those transactions. By aligning more closely the origination and underwriting division, this will allow the relationship to become more tightly focussed and will facilitate the desire to further deepen the interactions and promote more seamless cross-team working.
UKEF believes that the SME market will continue to expand and as such, is creating a second new directorate which will signal to our SME customers, counterparties and key stakeholders the importance of this sector to the future success of our business. The Director of Small and Medium Enterprises and Trade Finance will lead UKEF’s team of regionally-based Export Finance Managers to deliver new customers to the business, the Small and Medium Enterprise team to drive the case load generated from our range of innovative products, as well as leading the wider BG support team.
These are exceptional roles by any standards. The nature and quality of the corporate finance business you’ll manage, the strong social purpose underlying that business, and the range of geographies and sectors it covers is second to none. They are truly commercial roles with public sector purpose. The work can be intense, but it is endlessly rewarding in terms of the support provided to UK businesses and jobs, the families and communities who rely on those jobs, and the communities overseas who benefit from the projects we underwrite.
UKEF has retained Russell Reynolds Associates to advise on these appointments. For further information about the positions and additional details on qualifications, requirements, terms and conditions of service and how to apply, please review the Position Specification below.
