About the role

The Head of Financial Scrutiny role will oversee the scrutiny work for around half of the Assembly’s Committees, including the Budget and Performance Committee and Audit Panel. The position leads a team of around 10 scrutiny researchers to deliver high quality scrutiny work in a wide-range of projects, research, briefings, reports and outputs for the London Assembly, its committees and its Members.

As Head of Financial Scrutiny, you will also be responsible for planning and delivering high quality budget scrutiny during the Mayor’s annual budget cycle, and also developing broader financial scrutiny work across the year. You will support policy researchers within the wider Scrutiny team to include financial scrutiny in their work.

This role is a varied one. It will have responsibility for overseeing the Budget and Audit Committee teams. However, it will also oversee some broader Committee scrutiny work that has no direct financial element.

This is an excellent opportunity to lead a committee staff on some of the most important committees in the London Assembly, and to have tangible impact on the delivery of scrutiny work and the transformation of financial scrutiny in the team.

We are looking for someone with excellent research, analysis and drafting skills and experience of using them in a senior role. You should be fluent in managing and handling complex data and have the ability to create and/or edit high quality written briefings and reports. You should have experience managing staff and motivating a team.

If you enjoy creative thinking, working in a fast-paced, political environment, and have strong editing, research, and drafting skills, with an interest in ‘following the money’ through financial scrutiny, this job could be perfect for you
