We are seeking highly motivated and experienced senior leaders to join our Criminal Investigations teams within the Fraud and Criminal Behaviours (FCB) business area. FCB is dedicated to developing comprehensive solutions to address deliberate, systemic, or complex behaviours, that threaten the integrity of the Taxation and Superannuation systems. We play a key role in supporting the ATO's core compliance functions by conducting a wide range of criminal investigations across a broad range of tax-related crimes, including those pursued through the Serious Financial Crimes Taskforce.

As a Criminal Investigation Director, you will lead teams in conducting complex investigations, often involving multiple agencies, into high-level criminal offences. You'll oversee investigations to a criminal standard of proof and prepare full briefs of evidence for submission to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions.

You will provide strategic advice on investigation strategies and lead the development and evaluation of policies related to criminal investigations. Additionally, you'll act as the ATO representative, liaising with other agencies such as the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions and the Australian Federal Police.

The role may require interstate travel and a current Australian driver's licence is essential. You may be required, at times, to work flexible hours outside of the standard bandwidth.

These roles may be offered on an ongoing or non-ongoing basis in Adelaide, Brisbane CBD, Canberra, Melbourne CBD, Newcastle, Perth or Sydney CBD.

We embrace the strength of diversity — through our people and the perspectives they bring. We are committed to inclusive recruitment practices and encourage applications from people with disability or neurodivergence, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and individuals from all backgrounds. Reasonable adjustments can be provided throughout the recruitment process.
