The Office of the New York State Attorney General's Taxpayer Protection Bureau in Manhattan

is seeking a bright, dynamic, hard-working and motivated individual committed to public service

on behalf of the people of the State of New York to be a legal support analyst. The Taxpayer

Protection Bureau targets corrupt contractors, pension scammers and large-scale tax cheats, and

encourages and works with whistle-blowers to expose corruption. A recent enhancement of the

False Claims Act, called the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act (FERA), makes New York

the first state in the nation to expand its False Claims law in many ways to crack down on waste,

fraud and corruption perpetrated against New York taxpayers.

The legal support analyst will be a part of project-specific teams comprised of attorneys and

investigators conducting confidential criminal and civil investigations and will assist with the

prosecution of criminal defendants and civil litigation. Responsibilities will include, but not be

limited to, reviewing and organizing documents and other evidence, conducting background

research, analyzing data, organizing case files and providing legal and office support.

The legal support analyst will also be expected to summarize large amounts of data and present it

in a cogent manner, identify and locate potential sources of relevant information, become

proficient in the use of law-enforcement databases, be adept and creative in the use of search

engines and social media, build professional relationships with law-enforcement partners,

possess extreme attention to detail, and have a genuinely inquisitive nature.

Excellent communication and organizational skills, as well as proficiency with Excel, Access

and similar programs, are required. Prior experience in criminal justice, investigations or legal

practice is a plus.

Applicants from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The Office of the Attorney

General is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to workplace diversity. If you wish
