Job Description

OIG is seeking investigators to conduct confidential and sensitive investigations regarding allegations of fraud, abuse, corruption, conflicts of interest, and other criminal activity involving New York State agencies, employees and those doing business with the State. These allegations frequently involve state contracts, procurements, abuses of public benefits, and white-collar offenses.

Investigators work collaboratively with teams of OIG attorneys and auditors to plan and execute these internal investigations of various types and prepare written reports documenting investigative activities and findings. In doing so, investigators frequently utilize multiple investigatory techniques, including surveillance, witness/target interviews, digital forensics, and financial record analysis. Investigators receive both internal and external training concerning the subject matters covered by OIG, investigatory techniques and tactics, and NYS Government, among others.

Given the scope of OIG's jurisdiction, investigators are assigned matters involving a broad range of NYS agencies and entities, which may necessitate travel statewide and to liaise with other federal, state, and local law enforcement and regulatory agencies and to assist in the referral and prosecution of criminal matters.
