Job Description

Introduction

Delaware's Attorney General, the State's chief law enforcement officer, has a broad responsibility to combat crime, uphold civil rights, safeguard families, fight fraud, and protect consumers in the First State.

In meeting this mission, Attorney General Kathy Jennings is supported by teams of talented lawyers and staff in the Criminal, Civil, Family, Fraud and Consumer Protection, and Civil Rights and Public Trust Divisions. Each of the more than 500 staff who work in the Office of the Attorney General are dedicated to serving all Delawareans with integrity and passion.

Deputy Attorneys General, with critical support from criminal special investigators, victim service specialists, paraprofessionals, and administrative staff, prosecute criminal cases, enforce consumer laws, provide counsel to state agencies, ensure the public's access to open government, protect the abused, and much more.

Summary Statement

The Delaware Department of Justice is seeking an Investigative Analyst for the White Collar Crime Unit (WCCU) within the Fraud and Consumer Protection Division. Based in New Castle County, the WCCU is responsible for prosecuting cases involving financial misconduct, as well as other criminal matters assigned by the Division Director. The Unit also initiates civil actions under the Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act to address fraud committed against the government. The Investigative Analyst will provide essential support to Deputy Attorneys General assigned to the WCCU. While the position is located in New Castle County, the WCCU maintains a statewide caseload, and travel throughout Delaware—including multi-day court proceedings in Kent and Sussex Counties—may be required.

Essential Functions

Primary responsibilities include administering the unit’s review, preparation and service of Attorney General’s subpoenas as received through the Law Enforcement Subpoena Request Portal. These duties focus on drafting subpoenas for the requested materials, coordinating with the authorizing deputy attorney general and engaging with law enforcement officers and representatives at the financial institutions or corporate entities to where the respective subpoenas are directed. The position also involves tracking subpoenas for which a response remains outstanding and identifying noncompliant cases for potential enforcement actions. With more than 500 such subpoenas served in calendar year 2024, the position requires an individual with superior organizational skills.

This Investigative Analyst would also be expected to assist in case-specific duties, primarily related to the unit’s criminal caseload. For such assignments, the successful applicant would be expected to develop a thorough understanding of the relevant facts and to attend case meetings with law enforcement and interviews with witnesses. The Investigative Analyst may be responsible for reviewing, analyzing and drafting legal documents. The Investigative Analyst can be expected to maintain files, prepare litigation documents and investigate case-related issues and facts and will coordinate research, investigative reports and case preparation for the deputy attorneys general. In matters involving a considerable number of victims or witnesses, the Investigative Analyst may serve as a coordinating contact for such persons. The Investigative Analyst will also perform other duties as assigned. This Investigative Analyst will need to be able to work accurately and independently within strict time constraints with a minimum of direct guidance and supervision.

Because the WCCU works closely with, and relies upon, our investigative partners throughout the State, the successful candidate must have or be able to develop a good working relationship with other deputy attorneys general, investigative partners, support staff and court personnel. This is a challenging position that provides an opportunity to investigate and litigate a wide range of matters including many large and complex frauds. Preferred candidates would have an understanding of the investigation and litigation of complex criminal matters. Preferred skills include substantial experience handling document-intensive cases involving financial misconduct; familiarity with finance, tax, or accounting is helpful, but not a prerequisite. We seek an individual with a strong commitment to working in the public interest.
