About the Team
The Securities and Markets team (SAM) develops policy on matters relating to the regulation and good functioning of the UK’s financial markets. The range of our work is wide, from formulating the laws and regulations which govern the behaviour of investment bankers and traders, to creating favourable conditions for innovative companies to raise capital and succeed in the UK.
One of our most immediate objectives is to implement reforms to our financial services regulations to support the government’s growth mission. This involves us doing policy work to identify and prepare improvements to the rules that the UK has inherited from the EU, as well as working with teams across HMT, government and the regulators to identify and deliver ambitious new policy proposals that will help foster growth and innovation.
We are very friendly and inclusive team and we place great value in making the team a welcoming place for new starters. Personal development is also a key focus of SAM, allowing you to further improve your skills in areas such as conducting policy research and analysis, working closely with senior civil servants and ministers and managing the team’s relationship with external partners. SAM is a team where you will be encouraged to develop and thrive.
