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. The position requires the ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, maintain attention to detail, and meet strict deadlines with minimal supervision.\r\nBecause the White Collar Crime Unit works closely with investigative partners throughout the State, the successful candidate must be able to establish and maintain effective working relationships with deputy attorneys general, law enforcement personnel, support staff, court personnel, and other stakeholders.\r\nThis is a challenging and rewarding opportunity to contribute to the investigation and litigation of complex fraud matters affecting Delaware residents and government entities. Preferred candidates will have experience supporting investigations or litigation involving financial misconduct, large volumes of records, or other complex criminal matters.
