A key opportunity has arisen within the Risk and Assurance function for a Fraud & Loss Investigation Manager. Reporting into the Head of Risk, you will be responsible for the provision of independent and objective investigations of fraud and loss right across the organisation.

- Increase awareness of fraud and loss including internal communication, training and whistle blowing
- Targeted Loss reduction programmes including analysis of complex data, staff searches and location visits
- Intelligence led investigations - monitoring fraud indicators and working with external stakeholders such as the police and HMRC
Your work will focus not just on internal fraud and loss but also on 3rd party/supplier fraud, theft of intellectual property, system abuse and procurement. As the ideal candidate, you will have:
- Direct and extensive experience of fraud investigation work with exposure to law enforcement agencies and legal council
- Ability to identify fraud risk at a strategic as well as operational level
- Exceptional communications skills including negotiation, influencing and strong report writing skills
- Strong attention to detail
- The ability to interpret complex/sensitive data and spot suspicious trends
- Experience of data analytical tools such as SAS, ACL or IDEA is preferred but not essential
- Retail sector experience could also be advantageous but again is not essential
- The flexibility to travel between 30%-50% of the time (though seldom requiring an overnight stay) and to work unusual hours as the job requires
On offer is a salary of up to £55,000 plus bonus (10-20%) and benefits. You must be eligible to work within the UK to be considered for this opportunity
