6 days ago


Auckland City, New Zealand Financial Markets Authority Full time

Provide technical leadership with a complex and dynamic remit.
- Significant development opportunity - exposure to Board and Senior Leadership and market participants.
- Promote and influence outcome-focused regulation.
- Auckland CBD or Wellington CBD location.

Our team is motivated to help achieve fair outcomes for New Zealand investors. To do this, we influence, monitor, educate and develop the investment management sector. The investment management sector includes fund managers (including KiwiSaver funds), discretionary investment management service providers, derivatives issuers, crowd funding and peer to peer service providers, and custodians.

Our sectors are incredibly important for the financial well-being of New Zealanders. Our remits include the managed fund sector with $186 billion of funds under management and the DIMS sector with $42 billion of funds under management.

**The Role - Te Tūranga**

As a Senior Adviser you'll be lending your expert skills in analysis, communication and project design to help improve the experience of investors and the capability of the FMA. You'll be working on projects that "raise the bar" as well as engaging with market participants to promote the development of fair, efficient, and transparent managed investments.

Right now, we're working on improving value for money for investments, ensuring fund managers' business models and risk-management capabilities work for investors, and looking to the horizon for ways to promote sector growth while improving risk management practices.

As well as developing and improving the investment management sector, we also have a role in monitoring and engaging with market participants to identify issues and resolve often novel problems. We have a wide scope of interesting projects requiring great problem-solving abilities and no two days are the same.

You can see examples of work the Investment Management Team has produced **here**, **here**, and **here**.

As a specialist in investment analysis, compliance or regulation, you will make key contributions to the team's work to improve investor outcomes. This position will allow you to work closely with other teams across the FMA as well as giving you the opportunity to engage directly with market participants, supervisors and industry associations. You'll be helping us analyse novel issues in the industry, develop effective solutions and implement improvements in a fair and consistent way.

**About you - Ō pūkenga**

We are looking for someone who is curious, analytical, and enthusiastic about the New Zealand investment sector. You can expect to be working on a variety of work where you will be engaged, challenged and adaptive to situations where the answer isn't clear-cut.

Ideally, you'll have experience working with any of the investment management sectors that we regulate in roles such as investment analysis, compliance, risk, legal, product management, data analysis, or research. Coding and PowerBI reporting skills would be a plus. We would also be keen on hearing from you if you have experience in advising, auditing, or consulting to any of our investment management sectors or if you have relevant experience from a previous regulatory or policy role.

To effectively influence, monitor, and educate, we will need you to have good verbal and written skills so can you articulate complex legal or industry jargon to a variety of stakeholders. This can be anywhere from creating a project plan to writing guidance to the market.

**What we offer - Ngā painga**

The work we're involved in is as challenging as it is interesting. What's more, you'll be joining a supportive team culture working with people who love what they do. We offer a comprehensive induction programme and ongoing opportunities for professional development and continuous learning.

We pride ourselves on achieving a great work-life balance - it's not just a thing we say we do We offer flexible working arrangements to support you in your life outside of work and have created a range of wellness and social activities for our people to connect and socialise.
