DWP. Digital with Purpose.
We're looking for an experienced Security and Fraud Risk Manager to help shape public services that are secure by design, resilient to fraud and error, and trusted by the people who rely on them.
DWP is the UK's largest government department. We help people into work and make payments worth over £195bn a year that support millions of people across the country.
About the Role
This is an influential advisory role at the heart of service design and delivery. You'll act as a trusted expert on fraud, error and security risk, helping teams across Universal Credit and Working Age Services make informed decisions about how services are designed, delivered and improved.
Colleagues will come to you for expert advice when developing new services, changing existing processes, introducing new technology or responding to emerging threats. Drawing on your expertise, you'll identify risks, assess vulnerabilities and recommend practical solutions that protect public money, safeguard citizens and support the delivery of effective public services.
The scale of what we do is extraordinary, and the impact of your work will be felt across services used by millions of people every day.
