We are looking for an Enforcement and Illicit Finance Senior Manager to join the Independent Football Regulator (IFR).

The Enforcement and Illicit Finance function will be an integral part of the Independent Football Regulator, undertaking enforcement investigations into breaches of the Football Governance Act and our rules. The function is also responsible for overseeing and co-ordinating the regulators efforts to reduce the risk of illicit finance within the professional game.

The function forms part of the wider legal and enforcement department.

The senior manager will work with the head of department to oversee enforcement activity including developing the enforcement strategy, portfolio, policies and procedures. They will also oversee investigations and lead on high profile case work.

The senior manager will also play a leading role in establishing the FCA anti-illicit finance strategy working with IFR supervisors and a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.

The successful candidate will therefore play a crucial role in developing the function within the new organisation, building capability and the operational processes and controls necessary to ensure successful implementation within the new regulatory framework.

They will need to ensure close working with data, policy, legal and supervision teams so that the enforcement portfolio is effective and coherent and that the IFR’s board is supported to take robust regulatory decisions.
