Policy Adviser – Sanctions and Illicit Finance

3 days ago

Durham, United Kingdom HM TREASURY-1 Full time

Are you looking for a new opportunity? Would you like the opportunity to shape the future of economic crime policy?

About the Team

The Economic Crime Strategy Unit works with other departments to coordinate the governments approach to tackling economic crime.

We are a domestic-focussed branch, covering cross-cutting economic crime including delivering the Economic Crime Plan 2, the Economic Crime Levy, the National Risk Assessment of Money Laundering and Terrorist-Financing, and planning for the next mutual evaluation by the Financial Action Taskforce.

Our branch sits within the Sanctions and Illicit Finance team, and the team works closely together to develop policies and legislation to protect the stability of the global financial system. We are a friendly, busy and outward-facing team that puts a high importance on wellbeing and a good work-life balance. We're committed to being an open and inclusive team. Come and join us

About the Job

Responsibilities in the role may adapt over time as our priorities shift, but day to day, you will:

  • Work collaboratively with government departments, law enforcement agencies and supervisory stakeholders to deliver economic crime priorities.
  • Maintain oversight for HM Treasury's interests in economic crime policy, which could include areas like crypto currency and corporate transparency
  • Advise ministers on strategic decisions, risks or issues in economic crime - this will include helping to consider changes to the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Regulations.
  • Support preparations for the next Financial Action Taskforce Mutual Evaluation of the UK
  • Support the wider branch with drafting correspondence, briefing seniors, and Parliamentary handling.

This is an exciting and high-profile policy area and while previous knowledge of anti-money laundering, economic crime, financial services, or crypto currencies would be useful, this isn't essential for the post. We will support you with development opportunities to help you get to grips with the subject matter and develop the core skills needed to be a policy adviser.

About You

We're looking for proactive individuals who are skilled at identifying and reassessing priorities and comfortable building and nurturing positive working relationships. The ability to analyse different sources of evidence and then communicate recommendations will be the key to your success.

Does this sound like you?

Some of the Benefits our people love

  • 25 days annual leave (rising to 30 after 5 years), plus 8 public holidays and the King’s birthday (unless you have a legacy arrangement as an existing Civil Servant). Additionally, we operate flexitime systems, allowing employees to take up to an additional 2 days off each month
  • Flexible working patterns (part-time, job-share, condensed hours)
  • Generous parental and adoption leave packages
  • Access to a generous Defined Benefit pension scheme with employer contributions of 27%
  • Access to a cycle-to-work salary sacrifice scheme and season ticket advances
  • A range of active staff networks, based around interests (e.g. analysts, music society, sports and social club) and diversity
