CASE OFFICER JOB DESCRIPTION

A Case Officer manages a discrete portfolio of regulatory or law enforcement interventions from intake through resolution. Each case may involve MAPPA-governed offender management, CFIUS national security reviews, or statutory compliance actions under delegated authority - all of which demand independent judgment within tightly defined legislative frameworks. No two portfolios look alike. What stays constant is the obligation to protect public interests, document decisions with precision, and influence stakeholder behavior through clear, authoritative communication.

As the Case Officer, you own a live caseload of regulatory or investigative matters, ensuring each moves through required procedural stages accurately and on time, with written records that stand up to legal scrutiny. You work within a specialist public-sector or enforcement unit, drawing on cross-agency relationships and escalating to senior advisors when interventions require powers beyond delegated authority.

Career Impact: Managing complex interventions under frameworks such as MAPPA or CFIUS builds deep statutory expertise that is recognized across law enforcement, regulatory, and government advisory careers.

Business Impact: The accuracy and timeliness of each case decision directly determines compliance outcomes for affected parties and protects the public interest the oversight regime was designed to serve.

Growth Opportunity: Exposure to multi-agency environments, legal documentation standards, and risk escalation processes expands the scope available to officers moving toward senior investigator or regulatory lead roles.

• Own a caseload of regulatory interventions from initial filing through final disposition.
• Review incoming filings and evidence to assess compliance with legislative information requirements.
• Coordinate with partner agencies and legal advisors to gather information necessary for sound decisions.
• Draft case reports, correspondence, legal documentation, and administrative records that meet statutory standards.
• Monitor portfolio-level risk against delegated authority thresholds and escalate with recommendations when required.
• Present findings, statistical data, and case summaries to committees, panels, or senior stakeholders.
• Audit database records and implement quality control measures in line with national KPI frameworks.

• Bachelor's degree in law, public policy, criminology, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• 3 or more years of case management or regulatory investigation experience, with demonstrated ability to work within a legislative framework.
• Experience analyzing financial, intelligence, or compliance data to support administrative decision-making.
• Proven ability to produce accurate written reports, legal correspondence, and case documentation under deadline pressure.
• Strong working knowledge of relevant statutory procedures, data protection obligations, and multi-agency protocols.
• Ability to assess risk independently, apply delegated authority appropriately, and escalate complex matters with clear recommendations.
• Excellent verbal communication skills, with experience presenting findings to committees or senior stakeholders.

• Active security clearance or demonstrable eligibility for vetting at TS/SCI or equivalent national security level.
• Experience in a professional regulatory body, law enforcement unit, or government advisory environment.
• Familiarity with national performance frameworks such as MAPPA protocols or equivalent statutory compliance regimes.
• Prior exposure to multi-jurisdictional casework or cross-border regulatory review processes.

• Case closure rate within statutory or regulatory deadlines, measured against portfolio targets.
• Audit compliance score on database records reviewed against national KPI frameworks.
• Escalation accuracy rate - proportion of escalated cases where recommended action was upheld.
• Volume of cases processed per period meeting documentation standards without revision requests.
• Stakeholder response time - average days to issue required letters or status communications per filing.

• Base Salary Range: $58,000 to $85,000 depending on agency level and clearance status.
• Bonus: Performance-based step increases or annual merit awards typical in public-sector roles.
• Equity: Not applicable; government and regulatory roles rarely offer equity compensation.
• Health Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage standard for public-sector positions.
• PTO: 15 to 20 days annually, plus federal or statutory holidays.
• Common Perks: Pension or defined-benefit retirement plan, professional development funding, transit subsidy.
