Connect to your Industry
We are the Deloitte EMEA Centre for Regulatory Strategy (ECRS). We help senior leadership teams at Deloitte’s clients to anticipate, understand and respond to the strategic impact of the fast -changing regulatory landscape. We analyse the impact of regulation on business strategies, operating models and legal entity structures and lead Deloitte’s eminence in this space.
Our team is based in the UK but we operate across the EMEA region, supported by a network of Deloitte practitioners. We also work closely with our Centres in the US and Asia Pacific.
We realise the value of our insights by strengthening Deloitte's capabilities, raising its profile in the market, and by deepening client relationships. We achieve this by:
- developing high-quality and client-relevant regulatory analyses (thought leadership);
- monitoring emerging policy and regulatory issues;
- engaging with industry, regulators and trade associations
- providing targeted support for client projects as subject-matter experts.
As an entry-level Consultant in our team, you will develop your strategic thinking and gain a broad view and understanding of international, European, and UK financial services policy and regulation. You will also collaborate with regulatory specialists across Deloitte to assess how policy and regulatory change will affect our clients, and how they should respond.

Connect to your opportunity
The financial services sector continues to undergo major technological transformation. Innovative technologies are enabling financial services firms to provide new and better products and services, while also creating new sources of competition and more complicated service delivery models.
Regulation is one of the major forces that determines how this innovation can be harnessed and translated to business strategy, and we are about to enter a period of significant regulatory change in the EU and UK. We are looking for someone who wants to work at the intersection of regulation, innovation and business strategy to help our clients navigate this period of change.
As an ECRS Consultant, you will work in a diverse team with an inclusive team culture where people are recognised for their contribution.
On a day-to-day basis, you will:
- track, research and analyse upcoming policy, regulatory and supervisory developments in some of the most exciting aspects of technological and business model innovation in financial services, including digital assets, payments innovation, open banking, and embedded finance;
- help determine the critical issues and their strategic implications for our clients, ranging from large financial services firms to start-ups, in close collaboration with other Deloitte specialists;
- help identify relevant content ideas to build a deeper understanding of, and shape the team’s workplan as the regulatory landscape develops;
- draft various types of thought leadership to disseminate our insights, including client briefing notes, presentations, blogs and reports; and
- support the ECRS management team and operations.

Connect to Your service line - Risk Advisory
As recent events have reminded us, there are no certainties in business. Risk is everywhere. But so is opportunity. Your expertise will help our clients stay one step ahead of what hasn’t even been imagined yet.
Personal independence
Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints. This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm. The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process.
