We are seeking an experienced Product Manager to lead a critical discovery and delivery initiative within HMRC's Customer Insight Platform (CIP).

This innovative programme aims to move fraud detection from reactive, rules-based approaches to a proactive, automated capability that identifies organised fraud networks and hidden relationships across large-scale datasets. The platform will enable investigators to uncover complex fraud patterns across banking, VAT, Self-Assessment, PAYE and other services in hours rather than weeks.
