Your role with us
Working alongside our Counter Fraud Policy Team, you’ll lead on and develop innovative, proactive methodology designed to identify fraudulent and wasteful activity within the FCDO. Whether it’s inefficiencies, poor value for money or inappropriate spend, you’ll identify and analyse data sources, drive fraud investigations and take charge as the decision maker for triaging identified issues.
Acting as a key point of contact, you’ll own relationships with senior stakeholders and colleagues across the FCDO, promoting a culture of learning, development and continuous improvement. You’ll lead a team within Investigations and Internal Audit, focusing on the improved use and quality of data analysis as a tool to assist in fraud investigations across the FCDO network.

On a personal level, you’ll be resilient and organised, capable of managing multiple concurrent workstreams. A true team player and effective collaborator, you’ll be adept at explaining complex topics, delivering difficult messages with clarity and simplicity, and presenting data in a clear and compelling way. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a vibrant and dynamic team, and to do nation supporting work that makes a real impact.
