  • Support continuous improvement of investigative methodologies by incorporating new analytic techniques, emerging data sources, and evolving fraud indicators.

Required Qualifications
  • Three (3) or more years of professional experience conducting investigative analysis supporting government benefit fraud, financial crimes, or comparable investigative missions.
  • Three (3) or more years of experience analyzing structured and unstructured data from public and non-public data sources to identify fraud indicators, suspicious patterns, and investigative leads.
  • Strong working knowledge of fraud typologies relevant to government benefit programs, including identity fraud, eligibility fraud, organized fraud rings, synthetic identity schemes, and related financial crimes.
  • Proficiency with analytical tools including SQL, Microsoft Excel, Neo4j, i2 Analyst's Notebook, or comparable link analysis and investigative platforms.
  • Three (3) or more years of experience preparing investigative reports, referral packages, intelligence products, and case summaries suitable for law enforcement or oversight organizations.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to clearly present investigative findings to senior Government stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Supporting investigations involving pandemic relief, emergency assistance, grants, loans, unemployment insurance, healthcare fraud, disaster relief, financial assistance programs, or other large-scale federal benefit programs.
  • Working with Offices of Inspector General (OIGs), federal law enforcement agencies, financial crime task forces, intelligence organizations, prosecutors, or other government oversight entities.
  • Identifying fraud typologies including synthetic identity fraud, organized fraud rings, account takeover, identity theft, eligibility fraud, shell companies, nominee entities, and cross-program fraud schemes.
  • Applying advanced analytical techniques such as entity resolution, link analysis, graph analytics, network analysis, anomaly detection, geospatial analysis, or open-source intelligence (OSINT) to support investigations.
  • Utilizing investigative tools such as Neo4j, i2 Analyst's Notebook, SQL, Power BI, Microsoft Excel, visualization platforms, or comparable investigative analysis technologies.
  • Producing investigative work products including intelligence reports, lead packages, link analysis diagrams, timeline analysis, executive briefings, and referral documentation supporting criminal, civil, or administrative investigations.
  • Conducting due diligence research utilizing public records, commercial databases, financial records, corporate records, sanctions data, and other investigative information sources.
  • Collaborating within multidisciplinary investigative teams that include data scientists, forensic accountants, intelligence analysts, graph data scientists, and technical specialists.
  • Supporting high-volume investigative environments requiring rapid identification of emerging fraud schemes, investigative prioritization, and timely delivery of actionable intelligence.
