In November 2017, she was appointed the first civil service “faith and belief” champion, to represent all faiths and beliefs and promote interfaith dialogue.

Early life and education
Moriarty was born on 6 April 1963. She is the daughter of Michael John Moriarty, a career civil servant. She was educated at North London Collegiate School, an all-girls private school in London. She studied mathematics at Balliol College, Oxford, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1985.
Career
Moriarty held roles in the Department of Health, the Ministry of Justice, Department for Transport (DfT) and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). At the DfT, she was Director General Corporate Group and, from January 2013, Director General for Rail. She was appointed Permanent Secretary for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in August 2015. As of 2015, Moriarty was paid a salary of between £160,000 and £164,999 by the department, making her one of the 328 most highly paid people in the British public sector at that time.
Moriarty advocates the use of Twitter by civil servants, and has written in The Guardian how Twitter can be used in particular by senior female staff to be seen as more accessible.
In March 2019, she left her role as Permanent Secretary at the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and became Permanent Secretary at the Department for Exiting the European Union, replacing Philip Rycroft.
Following the departure of the United Kingdom from the EU at the end of January 2020 and the closure of the Department for Exiting the European Union, Moriarty left the civil service in March 2020. She took up a role as chief executive of Citizens Advice in April 2021.
