The Role - Te Tūranga

Our Supervision Response team is often at the forefront of industry developments and issues, our agile approach to market supervision and issues management means no two days are ever the same. We have an exciting opportunity available for a Senior Adviser to join our team in either Auckland or Wellington.

This position will see you leading enquiries into suspected misconduct or regulatory breaches by individuals and entities who are licensed or regulated financial markets participants. You will have the opportunity to dig around, get your hands dirty and use your analytical and investigative skills to get to the bottom of issues. This may include assisting other specialist teams within the FMA with the preparation of cases (civil and criminal) for court action or for referral to the Financial Adviser Disciplinary Committee. 

You will be required to assess, investigate, and resolve suspected misconduct issues or breaches of financial markets legislation in a timely and effective manner and be able to prepare insightful, well-researched reports for decision makers to determine the appropriate regulatory response to take on a case-by-case basis.
