The opportunity
We are seeking an experienced Fraud Risk Assessment & Assurance Manager to strengthen counter-fraud governance, risk assessment, and assurance across a high-profile, complex infrastructure programme.
This is a highly visible role in which you will take ownership of the Fraud Risk Assessment programme, ensure compliance with Government Functional Standard GovS 013: Counter Fraud, and provide senior leaders and governance committees with clear, evidence-based reporting.
You will work closely with counter-fraud, risk, data, and supply-chain teams, translating complex fraud risks into practical controls, policies, and strategic recommendations. It is an excellent opportunity for a counter-fraud professional who combines technical expertise with strong stakeholder engagement and the confidence to influence at senior level.
Key responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end Fraud Risk Assessment programme, including initial fraud impact assessments, detailed assessments, thematic reviews, and enterprise-level assessments.
- Maintain a comprehensive and up-to-date view of current and emerging fraud risks.
- Plan and undertake fraud measurement exercises, using the findings to inform controls, assurance activity, and strategic priorities.
- Draft and maintain the organisation’s Counter Fraud Strategy, informed by risk assessments, fraud measurement, and operational insight.
- Work with the Proactive Fraud Manager to incorporate data-driven intelligence into fraud risk assessments and operational controls.
- Coordinate the ongoing assurance of fraud risks, documenting findings, actions, and areas for improvement.
- Ensure organisational compliance with Government Functional Standard GovS 013 and maintain the supporting governance and assurance framework.
- Engage with risk management leads and third-party partners across the supply chain to ensure risks are consistently identified, assessed, and managed.
- Produce clear, transparent, and insightful reports for senior management, governance committees, and other key stakeholders.
- Develop and maintain fraud-related policies, including Gifts and Hospitality and Whistleblowing, ensuring alignment with legislation, regulatory requirements, and recognised good practice.
- Design and deliver engaging counter-fraud training for employees across the organisation.

About you
You will be an accomplished counter-fraud, governance, or risk professional with substantial experience managing a complex Fraud Risk Assessment programme.

You will bring:
- Extensive experience completing and maintaining initial, detailed, thematic, and enterprise-level Fraud Risk Assessments.

- Experience preparing high-quality reports and briefings for senior leaders and governance committees.
- Strong knowledge of corporate governance and regulatory requirements relating to fraud risk management.
- Experience developing fraud-related policies and translating them into effective operational processes.
- Excellent written, verbal, facilitation, and influencing skills, with the ability to explain complex fraud risks to non-specialist audiences.
- A strong track record of managing senior stakeholders, regulators, supply-chain partners, and third-party suppliers.
- Experience creating and delivering counter-fraud training and awareness programmes.
- Sound knowledge of relevant legislation, including the Fraud Act 2006, Bribery Act 2010, and Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023.
- Experience supporting major construction, infrastructure, or similarly complex programmes would be particularly valuable. Membership of the Government Counter Fraud Profession, ideally within the Fraud Risk Assessment discipline, is also highly desirable.
