**An opportunity has arisen for a Senior Financial Investigator to join the Interventions and Statutory Trust Team on 12 months fixed term contract.**

**The role**

As a Senior Financial Investigator, you will be responsible for working as part of a team to investigate financial records and identify who client monies should be returned to. You will attend interventions, identify and analyse relevant financial information, liaise with staff and clients of the intervened firm and engage with internal colleagues. You will present your findings and recommendations accurately and make decisions on the distribution of the money we have taken possession of (the Statutory Trust).

You will manage junior members of the team - providing technical direction, development and support. You will also oversee the work carried out by our panel solicitors, known as agents, working collaboratively with them to achieve the efficient and cost-effective distribution of the Statutory Trust. This is a hands-on role where you will have opportunities to provide feedback to colleagues at all levels and shape the direction of the team.

To succeed in this role you will be able to analyse and unpick complex numerical data sets, have the ability to manage, motivate and support others, be confident in engaging with stakeholders at all levels and seek to inspire best practice.

- Develop strong professional relationships with internal and external stakeholders
- Act as decision-maker for the distribution of Statutory Trust money
