- Leading monitoring, assessment, and advisory activities.

- Developing, implementing, and maintaining new and existing regulatory regimes, and engaging with stakeholders.

- Assessing compliance with relevant regulatory and legal requirements.
We're also keen to hear from you if you have experience advising, auditing, or consulting in the investment management sector, or if you've held a relevant regulatory role.
You'll bring strong analytical and communication skills, and be adept at building and maintaining relationships through your pragmatism, positive attitude, and willingness to learn and grow.
You're not expected to have 100% of the listed skills. At FMA, a growth mindset is at the heart of our culture - so if you bring most of these skills in your toolbox, we'd love to hear from you.
