About the Role
The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is a unique law enforcement organisation that investigates and prosecutes the highest level of fraud, bribery, corruption, and related money laundering offences. Bringing together lawyers, investigators, accountants, analysts, and administrators, the SFO works closely with law enforcement and prosecution partners both in the UK and overseas.

As a Senior Cryptoasset Investigation Specialist, you will be responsible for tracing the flow of cryptoassets in complex fraud, bribery, corruption, and money laundering investigations.

Key duties include producing high-quality witness statements and attending court to give evidence, leading and supporting investigators and prosecutors on complex cryptoasset issues, autonomously managing workflows to prioritise investigations according to office needs, monitoring resources, and providing evidence-based recommendations to senior managers. You will liaise with stakeholders to provide compliant and creative solutions to technical and evidential challenges within case deadlines.
