Essential Functions

The Investigative Analyst will provide direct support to deputy attorneys general assigned to the White Collar Crime Unit. A primary responsibility of the position is administering the unit's review, preparation, and service of Attorney General subpoenas submitted through the Law Enforcement Subpoena Request Portal. Duties include drafting subpoenas, coordinating with the authorizing deputy attorney general, communicating with law enforcement agencies and financial institutions, tracking outstanding responses, and identifying noncompliant cases for potential enforcement action. Given the significant volume of subpoenas handled by the unit, strong organizational and case management skills are essential.\r\nThe Investigative Analyst will also assist with case-specific assignments related to the unit's criminal and civil caseload. Responsibilities may include developing a thorough understanding of case facts; attending meetings with law enforcement agencies; participating in witness interviews; reviewing, analyzing, and preparing legal and investigative documents; maintaining case files; preparing litigation materials; researching and investigating case-related issues; and assisting with overall case preparation.\r\nIn matters involving multiple victims or witnesses, the Investigative Analyst may serve as a point of contact and assist with coordination and communication efforts.
