Description

The Risk and Intelligence Service (RIS) sits at the heart of HMRC's Customer Compliance Group (CCG), providing data and intelligence to understand and manage risks across the tax system.

As Director, you will lead a large and complex operational organisation, steering major technological and business transformation, and ensuring RIS provides the insight and capabilities needed to meet HMRC's compliance objectives.

Key responsibilities:

  • Lead the organisation through major transformation, harnessing investment in data, analytics, automation, and AI
  • Build and develop a high-performing senior leadership team and organisational capability

The ideal candidate will have:

  • A strong track record of leading a large and complex organisation through significant change
  • Experience operating in a compliance or comparable risk-led environment
  • A strong understanding of how data, analytics, digital technology, automation, and AI can improve organisational performance
  • Strong strategic judgement and organisational awareness
  • A track record of building influential relationships and delivering challenging outcomes across organisational boundaries
