Team Leader Fraud – Amsterdam

Are you a decisive and experienced leader with experience in a political-administrative environment? Do you want to guide professionals working on complex fraud cases with major societal impact? The Public Prosecution Service's Expertise Centre (FP) is looking for an inclusive and communicative team leader who sets a clear course, connects, inspires, and builds a sustainable culture change within a dynamic, socially relevant environment.

What will you do?
As a Fraud Team Leader in Amsterdam, you will lead a team of approximately 30 professionals: prosecutors, prosecutors in training, court clerks, and fiscal specialists. The team works closely with investigative agencies such as the FIOD, ILT, and NLA on tackling financial-economic crime and complex fraud schemes with major societal impact.

You coach/facilitate professionals so they can perform their work independently and with high quality. You combine strategic leadership with personal involvement and pay attention to both the development of employees and the development of the team as a whole. You ensure coherence, set priorities, and ensure that the right expertise is deployed at the right time.

You are a strong discussion partner for your team, colleagues, chain partners, and management. You know when to give space and when clear direction is needed. In doing so, you stimulate cooperation, make clear choices, and build a professional, results-oriented, and integrity-driven work environment together with the team.

Tasks & Activities:

• You are responsible for the staffing, personnel management, and development of the professionals in your team;
• You are steadfast but not unyielding, and you know how to weigh and represent the interests of different groups well.
• You stimulate cooperation and appreciate performance: you strengthen a professional work culture where professionalism, results orientation, and integrity are central.
• You promote cooperation with investigative agencies and actively seek connection with other FP components and chain partners;
• Implementation and anchoring of the new culture policy, so that it becomes visible in the way of working, in the cooperation within the team, and in the relationship with external partners;
• You are a sparring partner for your team, both in terms of content and in the area of security and information, for example in embargo investigations. You are supported by a senior quality prosecutor to ensure the high quality standard is maintained;
• You are part of the Management Team Fraud and the FP Team Leaders' Meeting, contributing to strategy and direction. You also ensure the translation of prosecution service policy into practice and its implementation within the Amsterdam Fraud Team.

Who are you?
As an experienced leader, you listen, provide direction, and involve professionals in decisions. You know how to connect different interests, address where necessary, and create a work environment where professionals take responsibility, collaborate effectively, and achieve the intended results together.

In addition:

• You have a university work and thinking level and leadership experience, preferably in a political-administrative context and in a management team position;

• You have experience with change and culture projects and know how to translate policy into concrete behavior and cooperation.
• You are well-informed about relevant developments within and outside the Public Prosecution Service and know how to translate them into practice. Experience within investigation or prosecution is a significant advantage. Membership of the judiciary is not required for this position.
• This position is ideal for a manager seeking a challenge in a complex, political-administrative environment with societal significance. You make a visible contribution to tackling financial-economic crime, build a strong, future-oriented team culture, and thus contribute to a just and integrity-driven society.

Competencies:

• Environmental Sensitivity: You recognize developments, interests, and sensitivities within and outside the organization and understand the administrative and societal relationships in which you operate. You adapt your actions accordingly and know how to achieve results in different environments;
• Managing a Group: You build bridges and create support. You stimulate others to act based on common interest. You also optimally utilize the qualities of employees for organizational goals. You also show empathy and pay attention to inclusivity;
• Developing Employees: You offer employees perspective, stimulate their personal and professional growth, provide constructive and honest feedback, create learning challenges, and take into account everyone's unique qualities and needs;
• Decisiveness: You make sound decisions, maintain course in the face of setbacks, and know how to act firmly tactfully when necessary;
• Reflecting: You consciously distance yourself from daily practice to reflect, stimulate a learning and open team culture, actively seek feedback, and dare to experiment with innovative ideas and working methods.

About the Department
The FP is a nationally operating component of the Public Prosecution Service where over 490 professionals work daily to combat extensive fraud, environmental crime, and confiscate criminal assets. Tackling the intertwining of the underworld and the upper world is our core business. The cases we handle are complex, undermining, and socially relevant. Think of large-scale tax and investment fraud, healthcare fraud, schemes involving concealed (criminal) assets, money laundering of (crypto) assets, domestic non-official bribery, and foreign official corruption.

Our investigations are often in the spotlight: they attract (administrative) attention from the region and the House of Representatives and receive significant media attention – sometimes as part of our strategy, but always due to their societal impact.
The FP is located at five sites: Amsterdam, Zwolle, Den Bosch, Rotterdam, and Leeuwarden. The Amsterdam Fraud Team is one of the four tailor-made teams that are part of the Fraud domain. For this position, you will work from Amsterdam, where you will collaborate closely with your fellow Fraud Team Leaders from other locations, operations, quality prosecutors, and the Investigation Bureau.
