Job description

In the team you will join we have two key areas of focus.

Our work is multifaceted and adapts to the PRA’s changing priorities.

We are looking for someone with excellent analytical, problem solving and communication skills. Someone who is comfortable working on topics that may be complex and unfamiliar. You will be reporting into a manager or project lead, working through policy issues to find solutions, and build and present a case for the proposed policy approach. When developing policy, you will need to communicate and collaborate with colleagues from across Insurance Supervision, Prudential Policy and Legal Directorate, build consensus and ensure that the policy approach for insurers is consistent with other sectors. You will also support and influence how the PRA supervises insurers by providing high quality and consistent advice to queries from supervisors as well as actively identifying matters where policy work is needed.
