The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority is recruiting to fill senior Brexit-related roles, offering insight into its priorities as finance firms on both sides of the Channel begin to prepare contingency plans for a chaotic exit.

The FCA has advertised four vacancies for new jobs carrying Brexit responsibilities in the past two weeks. Two of the vacancies, posted to social network LinkedIn in early August, call for senior asset management specialists to join the watchdog’s supervision division.
