I am pleased to be recruiting for a Director of Legal Services and a Director of Operations – two significant roles in the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) leadership team.
The SFO is a unique organisation, set up to tackle the most serious of fraud and corruption cases, from first referral through to prosecution and asset recovery. Our work crosses international borders, often involves thousands of victims and many millions of pounds. It is professionally challenging work that both supports the UK economy and delivers justice for victims.
I am proud to lead the SFO and our multi-disciplinary team, including lawyers, investigators, accountants, tech and other specialists who are committed to the work they do, delivering results in complex cases, often with our partners at home and overseas.
As we enter the start of the second year in our five-year strategy, we are focused on enhancing the skills and expertise of our people, as well as using new powers and strengthening our partnerships at home and overseas to enhance our effectiveness and impact.
I am looking for leaders who will be proactive members of our Executive Committee, sit on the SFO’s Board and with me, deliver our strategic outcomes. These individuals will be energetic and effective advocates for the organisation, whilst also overseeing expert teams within the SFO, supporting and challenging them to deliver results through our casework.
The Director of Legal Services will both provide leadership for the organisation and robust, pragmatic, clear legal advice. They will support decision-making at the highest level, drawing from their expert legal knowledge and experience to shape our casework decisions.
The Director of Operations will have a sound understanding and experience of practical law enforcement. They will lead our cross-disciplinary operational divisions, enabling and encouraging them to enhance and develop their investigative techniques, increase the pace and energy of our investigations and problem-solve complex challenges across our casework.
Thank you for your interest in these roles. I look forward to receiving your application.
