Senior Adviser, Financial Advice

4 months ago


Auckland City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

Who we are - Ko wai mātou
We are Aotearoa New Zealand's financial markets conduct regulator, the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) - Te Mana Tātai Hokohoko. We stand for a trusted financial sector that treats people fairly.
The FMA's remit and regulatory approach is evolving to be outcomes-based, with a strong focus on facilitating fairer outcomes for everyday customers of financial services, as well as investors.

The Role - Te Tūranga
Due to an internal promotion, we have a great opportunity for a Senior Adviser to join our Financial Advice team in either Auckland or Wellington. Our Financial Advice team supervises and monitors the financial advice sector, including all Financial Advice Providers (FAPs) ranging from sole advisers, through to large banks, insurers, and investment management providers.
This is a frontline supervisory role where you will have regular engagement with a wide range of FAP related financial market participants. The role is broad, and no two days are the same - for example, you could be leading an onsite monitoring review, assessing potential cases of misconduct, or engaging with senior stakeholders (including C-suite level) in a regulated entity. You'll be working with a wide variety of stakeholders, from individual customers through to large multi-national businesses.
Ultimately the work you do in this role will help support fair outcomes for consumers; and you'll get the opportunity to be part of some interesting, challenging, and thought-provoking work at the forefront of regulatory delivery.

About you - Ō pūkenga
We're looking for a Senior Adviser who will bring strong experience to the team in either operational risk, compliance, auditing, or financial advice. You may come from banking, insurance, fund management, or perhaps another part of the financial services industry.

**The following skills and experience are key for this role**:

- Demonstrated strength in communication and stakeholder engagement skills - This role involves a good deal of professional writing and working with a wide range of stakeholders.
- Project management experience, including the confidence to lead important pieces of work, and coach more junior team members.
- Experience and enjoyment in learning and interpreting legislation - and the ambiguity that comes with this
- Strong critical thinking and natural curiosity

A great place to work. With great work to do.
A strong emphasis is placed on life/work balance, enabling you to be at your best in every aspect of your life. We offer flexibility for working at home and in the office, plus a considerable annual leave allowance, an ability to swap public holiday leave with other days that mean more to you, generous parental leave provisions and a variety of regular wellness initiatives and activities.
We also offer extensive training and learning and development opportunities to ensure you're well equipped to thrive in your role, you will get to understand the financial services from the unique perspective of an outcomes-focused regulator.

Applications close 5pm, Sunday 18 February.
