Office of the Attorney General, Civil Rights Division

Main Purpose of Job
The Civil Rights Division will be dedicated to investigating, filing, and litigating claims under this new authority.
POSITION DUTIES
This position will present an exciting opportunity to help build the Division from inception. Initial responsibilities will include hiring a team of experienced investigators, as well as shaping the policies and protocols of the Division. As the Division’s work progresses, the Chief Investigator will work closely with the Chief of the Civil Rights Division to develop and maintain enforcement priorities, create an operational system for investigating and tracking claims, oversee the resulting investigations, support litigation, and assist in monitoring settlements. In addition to supervising the investigative staff, the Chief Investigator will carry a caseload and should expect to engage in hands-on investigative work. Additionally, the person in this position will assist with maintaining communication with external stakeholders and partners, and work cooperatively with other OAG Divisions.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
Experience: The ideal candidate will have a minimum of seven years of experience conducting complex investigations.

2. Experience with high-profile or sensitive investigations is essential, along with excellent writing and investigative skills.
3. The candidate should have experience working with electronic evidence and electronic databases systems.
4. On an as-needed basis, this position will be required to work outside of normal business hours and to travel throughout the State.
