About the Role
Working at HM Treasury puts you at the heart of government, making a difference to the UK economy and ultimately to people’s lives across the UK. The Treasury offers a fast-paced, engaging environment with the opportunity to advise Ministers on decisions that directly shape the UK’s prosperity. We are committed to empowering our people, maximising individual and collective impact, and providing interesting work at all levels.

As Deputy Director, Banking Assets and Resolution Strategy, you will play a key leadership role within the Group Management Team, overseeing a team of around 20 FTE. You will manage resourcing, develop capability, and provide direction to ensure a high-performing, engaged, and effective team, including integrating new policy functions and supporting new team members.

Your responsibilities will include advising Ministers and senior officials on resolution policy and banking regulation, building strong relationships with delivery partners such as the Bank of England, Financial Conduct Authority, and others, and delivering reforms to the bank ring-fencing regime and prudential regulation. You will also ensure the resolution regime adapts to evolving risks, including insurance company resolution, and steward HM Treasury’s residual UKAR liabilities through its wind-down programme.

The role offers the chance to work within a dynamic, forward-looking economics and finance ministry, contributing to the UK’s economic future while working in a friendly, inclusive, and sociable environment with offices across London and other UK locations.
