About the job
HMRC’s Fraud Investigation Service (FIS) is responsible for the department’s civil and criminal investigations and is home to a wider range of people with a variety of skills and professional backgrounds - including accountants, cybercrime specialists, criminal justice professionals, tax professionals and operational delivery professionals.
A fascinating role in HMRC's Fraud Investigation Service (FIS) Strategy awaits. FIS Strategy plays a crucial role in enabling and maximising the impact of this operational activity, ensuring FIS' response is effective and joined up across HMRC and Government.
We enable FIS to prepare for the future, leading efforts to develop clear strategies and delivery plans, and ensuring these are adequately funded through central CCG/HMRC budget negotiations and through Fiscal Events, such as UK Budget and Spending Reviews.
We also monitor how FIS is delivering against these plans and within any resource constraints, enabling FIS Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to take decisions at the earliest opportunity to maximise performance against set delivery targets while exploiting ad hoc opportunities as they arise.
