A substantial part of your work will be empirical research so you'll need some background in data analysis, ideally with some coding experience.
You'll need to able to think critically about a range of data and information sources, and how we can use them to gain insights into the key questions that our front-line teams are facing.

You could be working to help us understand important issues like the implications of commission structures for financial advisers and brokers, whether banks offer similar terms to all their customers, or whether the changing structure of international markets is putting New Zealand investors at undue risk.
You'll need to use your ingenuity as we find innovative ways to answer these questions.
That might include seeking out new data sources, engaging with other FMA staff and with the businesses we regulate, or synthesizing the international research on a particular topic.
