• Develop data-led detection and prevention activity, including analysis of anomalous payments, supplier patterns and procurement irregularities
  

• Develop a specialist counter-fraud and investigation function, supporting high standards of professionalism, discretion and integrity
  

What we're looking for

• Significant experience leading fraud, financial, procurement or supply chain-related investigations
  

• Strong understanding of procurement processes, financial controls and third-party risk
  

• Experience working alongside HR, Legal, Compliance, Internal Audit or Finance within a structured governance model
  

• Professional accreditation such as CCAB, CFE, ACFS, PIP, APCIP or equivalent
  

• Strong investigative and analytical capability, particularly across financial and supplier data
  

• Ability to identify patterns, anomalies and fraud indicators using evidence-led approaches
  

• Excellent report writing skills with strong attention to detail and clear recommendations
  

• Sound judgement and discretion when handling complex, confidential and sensitive matters
  

• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, especially across commercial, procurement and senior leadership teams
  

• Ability to work autonomously, challenge appropriately and escalate concerns with confidence
  

Desirable: Background in forensic accounting, audit, compliance or investigations. Experience in infrastructure, utilities, construction or regulated environments. Experience building investigation frameworks, fraud prevention processes or counter-fraud teams.
