We help the Department of Justice (DOJ) improve its operations and hold officials accountable for complying with established policy.
Given DOJ’s domestic and international activities, potential assignments include reviewing classified FBI counterterrorism programs, assessing the Drug Enforcement Administration overseas operations, auditing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives financial practices, examining prison conditions, evaluating critical information technology systems, and auditing multi-million-dollar contracts and grants.
We are seeking highly motivated, detail-oriented applicants looking for a rewarding career improving the DOJ’s critical operations and with high academic achievement in degrees such as Business, Public Administration, Information Technology, and Data Science. New employees get immersive, experiential training in technical skills.
The ideal candidate excels in critical thinking, reasoning, problem solving, teamwork, and written communication. Demonstrated competency in problem solving, reasoning, research, writing, and teamwork strongly preferred. As a workforce, we value integrity, accountability, innovation, collaboration, engagement and inclusivity, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn.
At entry-level positions candidates can expect to conduct research; assist in risk evaluations and audit planning; analyze and document information in a succinct and organized manner; employ reasoning and problem-solving skills to address multifaceted questions; evaluate operations or processes, draw conclusions, and aid in the development of a public product; and work cohesively with teammates to share information and enjoy an environment of collaboration. We provide immersive, experiential training in performance audit standards and techniques, DOJ programs, and relevant legislation and regulations.
