Working at the heart of government, we collaborate across government to promote responsible public spending and drive strong and sustainable economic growth.

Our work ranges from protecting customers through the regulation of the financial sector, helping to reduce carbon emissions and creating a greener economy, to promoting British trade around the world and supporting people across the country on jobs, growth and more.

Job description

The Sensitive Intelligence Unit oversees the management, development, and distribution of OFSI’s intelligence. The Human Intelligence Unit (HIU) manages all HUMINT and Whistleblower material for OFSI. It collaborates with various government and law enforcement partners to share, evaluate, protect, and advance this information. The HIU also sets standards and oversees governance related to HUMINT and Whistleblower material, aiming to identify and disrupt the most serious cases of financial sanctions circumvention, evasion, and breaches.

Personal Specification:

  • Provide leadership and managerial oversight to one HEO, ensuring the effective management and assessment of intelligence derived from HUMINT and Whistleblower material.
  • Identify new and manage ongoing relationships with law enforcement and government partners that operate in the HUMINT and Whistleblower space.
  • Ensure OFSI operates and complies with all necessary legislation by maintaining, reviewing and updating operational policy to ensure that HUMINT and Whistleblowing material is stored, handled and disseminated in line with legislation and policy.
  • Identify and confidently lead on key debriefing opportunities, ensuring that operational policy is followed to ensure the safety of OFSI Officers.
  • Proactively seek new opportunities to improve HIU capabilities in the HUMINT and Whistleblowing space.

We are looking for candidates with proven expertise in intelligence operations who demonstrate strong leadership abilities and are prepared to contribute immediately. Ideal applicants will exemplify our organisation's values and display a genuine motivation to become part of our team. This role provides a unique opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of sanctions, a complex and sensitive policy area, and understand their connection to criminal and civil enforcement, as well as broader HMG national security goals. You will lead on high-profile casework, collaborating with a range of senior stakeholders and deliver at pace in a dynamic environment.

Owing to the sensitive nature of this post, it is only open to UK Nationals. You will need to have or be willing to obtain Developed Vetting (DV) security clearance. Candidates may start in post once Security Check (SC) security clearance is obtained, while DV is in progress.

Candidates cannot apply to roles in the Civil Service if the application is made within a 5-year period following a dismissal for carrying out internal fraud against government.

National Security Vetting

Everyone working with government assets must complete Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) checks. Additionally, successful candidates will be subject to National Security Vetting. The level of security vetting required for this role is Developed Vetting (DV).

You will be asked to provide residency information within your application form, and eligibility for national security vetting will be checked once the advert closing date has passed. In certain circumstances, for example if you have been working abroad on a government posting, a lack of residency would not be a bar to security clearance however the Department will need to consider eligibility on a case-by-case basis once the advert closing date has passed.
