Main purpose of job:
The British Government’s Embassy in Washington, DC is offering an exciting opportunity to join HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) Fiscal Crime Liaison Network (FCLN) as a Liaison Support Officer. This is a meaningful role which supports and further develops the special relationship between the UK and the US.
HMRC is the UK’s tax, payments and customs authority, and we have a vital purpose: we collect the money that pays for the UK’s public services, help families and individuals with targeted financial support and provide the property valuations that support taxation and benefits. We do this by being impartial and increasingly effective and efficient in our administration. We help the honest majority to get their tax right and make it hard for the dishonest minority to cheat the system.
The FCLN is the international arm of HMRC’s work to tackle the dishonest minority. The FCLN posts Fiscal Crime Liaison Officers (FCLOs) overseas to work closely with international partners to reduce the threat to the UK from fiscal crimes such as offshore tax evasion, tobacco smuggling and money laundering. The FCLOs in Washington, DC manage this relationship with the USA and Canada. The FCLN Regional Head of the Americas & the Caribbean is also based in Washington, DC.
As a Liaison Support Officer, you will provide essential support across the team. Reporting directly to the Liaison Support Manager you will help provide insights and analysis to key UK stakeholders about the impact of the US system on HMRC. You will support the FCLN Washington DC team to connect with people and teams across the US and Canada ensuring that we are well placed to deliver HMRC’s objectives. You will be an important interlocuter for the team within the British Embassy Washington and lead on all corporate issues including the management of finances, budgets, events, diaries, vehicles, travel and meeting schedules.
The ideal candidate will be a strong, approachable communicator and be able to build relationships with a cross-section of people. They will be comfortable working in an environment where priorities can change at short notice and be able to operate in a highly organised way.
The US Network offers a unique, career-enhancing opportunity and is committed to supporting its staff through a comprehensive benefits package- including generous leave, competitive insurance options, a top-tier 401(k) programme, and access to world-class learning and development resources.
We are committed to fostering a healthy work-life balance and supporting employee wellbeing through a structured hybrid working model that includes opportunities for remote work and flexible hours, where operational needs allow.
In this role, you will be part of a dynamic international environment spanning the British Government’s extensive network across the United States and the United Kingdom, which includes the Embassy in Washington, the UK Mission to the United Nations, multiple Consulates, and other Government Offices—comprising over 900 staff and supporting the work of approximately 30 UK government departments and agencies.

- Managing all corporate elements of the Regional Americas & the Caribbean team including budgets, finance and assets (including vehicles). You will work closely with British Embassy corporate services teams and the FCLN network resources team in the UK.

Eligibility
You must have the right to live and work in the US in order to take up this role, whether in your own right or as a dependant, and be able to demonstrate that when required.

The UK Government does not routinely sponsor work visas; the job advertisement will state clearly whether sponsorship is available.

Core Hours/Hybrid Working
While many jobs in the US Network are able to offer flexibility in terms of working hours, core business hours are 09:30 to 15:00 (in the local time zone) Monday through Friday.
Employees will be expected to work from office full-time.
All working hours and hybrid working are position specific and subject to change at any time, without notice. If you have any questions, please address them with the hiring manager.
Working Pattern:
This role cannot be undertaken at home. The role also includes the need to work some evenings and weekends in support of HMRC and wider HMG aims. Notice will always be given of evening or weekend working.
Learning and Development
The British Embassy and its US Network is committed to all employee’s ongoing learning and development needs. We offer a comprehensive platform for personalised learning for everything from soft skill development (communicating with impact, handling difficult conversations, time management) to more technical or professional skills necessary to complete your job (software training, formal qualifications etc.).
The UK Government operating in the US offers a substantial benefits package including generous leave, a choice of medical insurance, 401(k) matching up to 7%, extensive learning opportunities and a great work/life balance.
Unique Tax Rules
Please note that the tax arrangements imposed by the US on staff working for foreign governments, as well as those imposed by the UK Treasury on British and dual nationals working for the UK Government overseas, are atypical. The UK Government cannot withhold taxes (including FICA) on behalf of a US taxpayer. Instead, a US taxpayer is required to file taxes as if they are self-employed, and a FICA allowance is granted for those required to pay the employer contribution. Certain categories of staff (for example dual UK-US nationals and some visa holders) who work at Consulates General are not subject to US taxes. For those not subject to US taxes the UK Government reduces gross pay to a level broadly equivalent to taxed net pay. There are also social security implications for dual UK-US nationals. Please keep all this in mind when looking at the salary and the benefits package. If you are offered a job with the UK’s US Network you will be given further tax and social security information relevant to your personal circumstances and place of work; you are advised to consider this information and its impact on your circumstances carefully – potentially with the advice of a tax professional – before accepting a job.
