Job description
The Fraud Prevention Centre (FPC) is a critical component of HMRC's security and fraud prevention ambition. As the organisation continues to develop and mature this capability, we are seeking an experienced Implementation Manager to support the delivery of change across the FPC-led portfolio.
This role will help ensure that change arising from programmes, projects, policy, and standards is successfully implemented into operational environments.

Working closely with delivery teams, subject matter experts, operational colleagues, and stakeholders across HMRC, the role will contribute to the effective implementation of identity-related policies, standards, and data governance requirements. Through supporting change delivery and operational adoption, the post holder will help strengthen fraud prevention capability and improve the consistency and effectiveness of controls across the Fraud Prevention Centre.

- Provide advice and support on the application of identity policies and standards, working with specialist colleagues to ensure solutions are implemented consistently.
- Support data governance and compliance activities, helping ensure appropriate controls relating to access, retention, handling, and classification are considered during delivery and implementation.
- Identify and manage risks, issues, and dependencies relating to change implementation, escalating where appropriate and contributing to effective resolution.
- Monitor implementation progress, capture lessons learned, and contribute to continuous improvement of change management practices across the FPC.
