The Financial Services Commmission of Mauritius wants to appoint a new chief executive, on a contractual basis, to lead it.

The 'spec' mentions the usual necessary qualities - strong leadership and so on - and seems not to discriminate between experience gained at a senior level within a securities regulatory agency, an insurance supervisor, a central bank or another 'leading'  financial  institution, or academia and/or in public-sector regulatory jobs with a close focus on financial services regulation. It also mentions backgrounds in risk management, accounting, economics, finance, law related to the financial sector as worthy of consideration.

The successful candidate will have a post-graduate degree from a 'recognised' institution (this term is left undefined) or professional qualifications from a recognised (ditto) body. He or she must also have proven susbstantial relevant experience, preferably of more than 15 years, either working with financial service regulators or working at a very senior level in a major financial institution, or both. Last on the FSC's list of desirable attributes is "undisputed integrity."

The Acting Chief Executive is a Mr PK Kuriachen.
