Do you have a keen investigative mind, that can identify potential fraud and corruption issues?

Do you have high-level reporting skills that can lead and prepare reports for stakeholders?

If so, WE WANT YOU!

Fraud poses a constant threat—even within the public sector—and when it strikes, the consequences are profound. Resources meant to support our most vulnerable citizens can be diverted for personal gain, eroding trust between agencies, their teams, and the communities they serve. Directing our forensic team, you’ll play a critical role in uncovering risks, detecting signs of fraud and corruption, and helping restore integrity where it matters most. This is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact by protecting public funds and reinforcing the values of transparency and accountability.

As a Forensic Audit Director, you’ll take the lead in managing complex and high-impact forensic examinations from start to finish. You’ll shape strategic and operational relationships across sectors, guide a talented team, and ensure every outcome is robust, balanced, and backed by solid evidence. Your leadership will be key to maintaining the highest standards of accountability and transparency. You’ll also play a pivotal role in overseeing the growth and innovation of our data analytics team—leveraging cutting-edge tools to enhance audit precision and insight. If you're ready to lead with integrity and make a lasting impact, we want to hear from you.

High level financial investigation or audit skills along with considerable experience in leading a team, managing resources and delivering quality outcomes that meet demanding deadlines are essential to the role.
