Board and Trustee appointments
Governing our public service and ensuring the best delivery possible for Islanders through robust assurance.
Public service is just that; serving our Islanders in the best way possible, utilising resources well, making sound decisions and complying with regulation and legislation.
And we need people to give our Islanders comfort that this is happening. To allow this, the public service has a number of boards that ensure sound governance and control exists over all areas of public service, and that the direction of travel is aligned with the Common Strategic Policy.
These boards span from the Risk and Audit Committee, Fiscal Policy Panel, Health and Care Jersey Advisory Board, Jersey Care Commission, Jersey Appointments Commission and the Jersey Police Authority.
The majority of our boards require a commitment of approximately one day a month and offer the chance for people to use their skills, knowledge and experience, often from outside public service, to ensure assurance is given to Islanders.

About the Role:
Salary: £138,000 + comprehensive relocation package
Jersey is a world leading international finance centre. We are regarded internationally as a well-regulated jurisdiction committed to the global fight against financial crime.
As an Island we have over £1.3 trillion of assets under management.
In unison with law enforcement agencies, competent authorities and FIUs nationally and internationally by receiving, analysing and disseminating financial intelligence from numerous sources,
Jersey FIU is a pivotal component in protecting Jersey’s reputation in combatting financial crime.
And we are looking for someone to lead this.
Overseeing the receipt, analysis and dissemination of information that supports law enforcement investigations, regulatory action and jurisdictional threat understanding,
you will help preserve and enhance Jersey’s global reputation in the fight against financial crime.
Developing the FIU in line with international standards and peer review expectations, including those of the FATF, MONEYVAL and the Egmont Group you will be an expert in your field.
You will lead an experienced, multidisciplinary team of intelligence specialists, providing strategic direction while ensuring the Unit remains operationally independent, technically capable
and trusted by domestic and international partners.
Your remit will span strategic planning, resource leadership, operational decision making and international engagement. You will set annual priorities with the FIU Governance Board, manage
the Unit’s budget and ensure the delivery of high quality intelligence outputs.
You will also oversee the management of the consent regime under the Proceeds of Crime (Jersey) Law 1999, ensuring suspected criminal proceeds are preserved while intelligence and enforcement
action is progressed. In addition, you will lead the FIU’s contributions to national risk assessments, peer reviews and global cooperation frameworks.
This role offers significant scope to shape Jersey’s response to money laundering, terrorist financing, proliferation financing, sanctions evasion and associated predicate offences, in support
of the Island’s national economic security. You will build collaborative relationships with law enforcement, regulators, overseas FIUs, international bodies and the financial services industry,
including representing Jersey at Egmont and MONEYVAL plenaries.
About You
Success in this role requires deep knowledge of AML/CFT legislation and financial intelligence practices, proven strategic leadership capability and the ability to make sound decisions under pressure.
Essential to the role is recent experience in the management of financial intelligence processes, including the collection, analysis, dissemination and use of intelligence. This experience may have been
gained within law enforcement, intelligence agencies or the private sector. You will also bring the credibility and confidence to influence effectively across jurisdictions, cultures and professional disciplines.
For existing FIU leaders, or senior analysts and managers ready to assume broader strategic responsibility, this position offers a rare opportunity to shape national AML/CFT effectiveness at the highest level and
to engage with senior counterparts worldwide.
