Be part of the team that helps the National Crime Agency understand how it is delivering on its mission to protect the public from serious and organised crime, providing independent insight and assurance that strengthen accountability and help the Agency improve. 

The Strategic Insights, Risk and Assurance Team (SIRA) helps the Agency understand performance, evaluate impact and manage risk across a complex threat landscape. By bringing together performance, risk, assurance and strategy, it gives senior leaders a clear, joined-up view of delivery, challenges and accountability. 

The Performance Team tracks how the NCA is delivering operationally and strategically. It produces agency and national reporting, assures operational outcomes, supports ministerial reporting, and oversees key systems including MoRiLE and APMIS. This gives leaders a clear, data-driven view of impact, delivery and accountability across the response to serious and organised crime. 

The Risk Team identifies and manages barriers to the Agency achieving its objectives. Through Enterprise Risk Management, it maintains the Corporate Risk Register, advises senior leaders, and supports risk ownership across directorates to help ensure the NCA remains prepared, resilient and informed. 

The Assurance Team provides confidence that governance, risk management and controls are operating effectively. It coordinates audit and inspection activity, tracks recommendations, and draws together assurance evidence to give senior leaders a clear view of risks, control effectiveness and areas for improvement. 

As a SIRA Senior Officer, you will play a key role in shaping reporting, governance and assurance products, working with stakeholders across the Agency to ensure senior leaders have clear evidence, insight and advice to support decision-making. You will be responsible for the quality and delivery of assigned products, reporting cycles or thematic areas, ensuring outputs are accurate, timely and focused on what senior leaders need to know and do. .
