Your role with us
We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed Senior Proactive Fraud Analyst to lead on data-driven identification of fraudulent activity within the FCDO. Based in the FCDO’s Investigations Department and working alongside our Counter Fraud Policy Team, you will lead on and develop innovative, proactive methodology designed to identify fraudulent and wasteful activity within the FCDO. Whether it is inefficiencies, poor value for money or inappropriate spend, you will identify and analyse data sources which will be used to drive fraud investigations and take charge as the decision maker for triaging identified issues.
Acting as a key point of contact, you will own relationships with senior stakeholders and colleagues across the FCDO, promoting a culture of learning, development and continuous improvement.

On a personal level, you should be resilient and organised, capable of managing multiple concurrent workstreams. A true team player and effective collaborator, you should 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 work that makes a real impact.
