The Integrated Planning Team sits within the Portfolio Management Unit and plays an important role in helping the FCA make well-informed, joined-up decisions about its priorities, people and resources. The team brings together planning, data and insight from across the organisation to create a clearer picture of what can be delivered, what it will take and where the key trade-offs and opportunities lie. Working closely with colleagues across divisions and corporate functions, the Portfolio Management Unit helps shape a more connected, forward-looking approach to planning and portfolio oversight - giving this role the opportunity to help improve how the FCA plans, prioritises and delivers its work.

Role Responsibilities

• Design and implement planning data models and standards, integrating financial, people, delivery, risk, and dependency information into a clear, consistent view

Ability to operate effectively within structured governance environments, applying sound professional judgement where information is incomplete, priorities compete and decisions have organisation-wide impact

Effective collaborative skills, with experience working across organisational boundaries—particularly with Finance, People, Risk and Technology - to improve ways of working and support joined-up decision-making
