2025 Change Graduate Programme

The Change Directorate provides project delivery and change expertise to deliver complex change within the FCA. There are many diverse teams within the division, from those who work with our business functions to understand more about what changes are required, to those who plan and structure the change and keep it safe through its delivery. This is a great opportunity to help manage the impact of change on the FCA and its processes and people. The Change Directorate are responsible for planning change and providing a pragmatic and collaborative approach to delivery. Joining the Change Directorate offers you the opportunity to work across a range of disciplines within Change including Project Management, Portfolio Management, Business Change and Business Analysis. As part of the graduate programme you'll have the opportunity to specialise in a Change discipline and work towards gaining relevant qualifications/accreditations. As well as working closely with our business colleagues, you will also collaborate with our Architecture and Technology Communities for delivery of projects which include IT and system development and change. These communities provide the strategic direction and operational management of our IT systems, as well as the capabilities that design and deliver technical solutions.

Our staff have diverse backgrounds, and no specific degree stands out as being essential, but you should be passionate about change, customer-focused and commercially minded. Within your degree, your hobbies or any form of internship work, volunteering or personal experiences, you may have managed an event or small project, supported or led others through solving a problem or resolving a conflict. You will need strong communication skills and an analytical mind and be confident working as part of a team and managing deadlines.,
