Position Overview

We are seeking experienced Federal EEO Investigators to conduct impartial administrative investigations of discrimination complaints in support of a federal Equal Opportunity Office.

In addition, each Investigator must have demonstrated experience drafting federal-sector EEO Acceptance/Dismissal Letters and Final Agency Decisions (FADs). Investigations are non-adversarial and require development of a fair and impartial factual record regardless of the positions taken by the parties.

• Develop thorough affidavit and interrogatory questions addressing each element of accepted claims.
• Obtain testimony through interviews, sworn written interrogatories/declarations, verbatim testimony, or an approved combination of methods.
• Conduct follow-up questioning and develop witness responses beyond simple yes-or-no answers without assuming facts.
• Coordinate witness interviews and investigative activities with Government personnel and court-reporting resources.
• Analyze evidence for completeness and identify additional investigative requirements.
• Prepare investigative summaries and complete written ROIs in the format required by the Government and EEOC MD-110.
• Analyze formal EEO complaints, counselor reports, requests for clarification, amendments, and related case documentation to determine whether claims meet federal regulatory and legal requirements for acceptance or dismissal.
• Draft Acceptance, Partial Acceptance, and Dismissal Letters addressing single-issue, multiple-issue, amended, continuing-violation, and consolidated complaints, clearly defining accepted claims and bases and establishing the scope of subsequent investigations.
• Research and apply current EEOC precedent, federal regulations, legal standards, and applicable theories of discrimination.
• Review ROIs, documentary evidence, and witness testimony to evaluate the merits of accepted claims and draft FADs containing procedural history, undisputed facts, applicable law and regulations, findings on the merits, legal analysis, and properly supported conclusions.
• Provide precise citations to evidence, documents, and witness testimony contained within the ROI.
• Produce clear, concise, logical, well-reasoned, well-documented, and fully supported written products.
• Meet established investigative and writing milestones and deadlines and correct, supplement, or revise products when deficiencies or Government quality-control comments are identified.
• Protect sensitive EEO complaint information and personally identifiable information in accordance with applicable security and nondisclosure requirements.

• Demonstrated ability to conduct objective interviews, develop sworn testimony, analyze documentary evidence, and prepare comprehensive investigative records.
• Knowledge of the ODNI oversight framework, including ODNI-specific reporting processes, quality-control measures, and security protocols.
• Exceptional analytical, research, writing, editing, organization, verbal communication, analytical judgment, and attention-to-detail skills.
