Would you like to contribute as a file manager to building trust in the financial sector and to protecting consumers?
Then come and join our team at the FSMA!
Become a file manager for the ‘Supervision of intermediaries and financial service providers and Anti-money laundering policy’ department.
Where will you be working?
Anyone wishing to carry out activities as an intermediary, lender or financial service provider must first apply for registration with the FSMA. Once registered, each intermediary, lender or financial service provider must comply permanently with all the legal and regulatory conditions for registration. The ‘Supervision of intermediaries and financial service providers and Anti-money laundering policy’ department is tasked with supervising these companies, both by monitoring applications for registration and by the ongoing supervision of their activities.
File managers play an important role in the day-to-day operation of this department. They carry out various support tasks for a multidisciplinary team of legal advisors and economists. They serve as contact persons for intermediaries and carry out a variety of tasks connected to the supervision of these companies. The ability to communicate in a professional and respectful manner, in both Dutch and French, is therefore a must.
What will your job entail?
Together with a team of some twenty colleagues, you will process, under the supervision of a team of legal advisors, the registration applications of these intermediaries and regularly follow-up on their dossiers. You will also assist intermediaries by answering their questions, both during and after the registration process.
Registrations take place via an on-line application. The processing begins when the applicant intermediary has uploaded all required data and documents and has paid the registration costs. Each application is then critically tested against the applicable legal and regulatory framework. Furthermore, you will assist legal advisors in managing the authorization dossier of lenders and you will have the opportunity to work on various other tasks and projects.

What do we offer you?
