Job Description

Manager Enforcement

Enforcement Section

Job Purpose:

To manage the day-to-day operations of the Enforcement Section by leading investigations, overseeing the preparation of enforcement cases, and ensuring that sanctions are imposed and recovered in a legally defensible, procedurally fair, and timely manner. The Manager acts as the principal case manager, bridging the Director’s strategic direction with the operational investigative work of the Enforcement Officer, and ensuring the section delivers consistent, high-quality enforcement outcomes across all FSA-regulated sectors.

Summary of Duties:

• Lead and manage enforcement investigations from referral through to outcome, ensuring that each case is progressed in accordance with the section’s case management framework, timelines, and quality standards.
• Develop investigation plans for each assigned case, setting out the scope, methodology, evidence requirements, legal provisions engaged, key milestones, and resource needs.
• Lead unannounced and scheduled on-site inspections at the premises of regulated entities, directing the Enforcement Officer in evidence gathering and ensuring all on-site activities comply with procedural requirements.
• Review and quality-assure all investigation case files prepared by the Enforcement Officer, ensuring completeness, accuracy, proper evidence handling, and clear linkage between findings and the relevant legislative provisions.
• Prepare written enforcement recommendations for the Director, setting out the facts, evidence, applicable legislation, and proposed sanctions, applying the proportionality principle to all recommendations.
• Assist the Director in preparing the Authority’s position for contested enforcement cases, appeals, and judicial review proceedings, coordinating with the Legal Section and external counsel as required.
• Lead the operational follow-up on all outstanding penalties and fines imposed by the Authority, maintaining a sanctions recovery tracker and ensuring that escalation procedures are applied where recovery is delayed or contested.
• Prepare and issue formal correspondence to entities with outstanding penalties, including demand notices, payment reminders, and notices of further regulatory consequences for non-payment.
• Supervise, mentor, and develop the Enforcement Officer, identifying skill gaps (e.g., forensic accounting, investigative interviewing, legal drafting) and providing internal coaching or recommending targeted external training.
