Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell is looking for a highly motivated attorney with extensive prosecutorial experience to join her management team as the Deputy Division Chief of the Insurance & Unemployment Fraud Division within the Criminal Bureau.

The Insurance & Unemployment Fraud Division investigates and prosecutes complex insurance and unemployment fraud cases, including violations of M.G.L. c. 152, M.G.L. c. 151A, and M.G.L. c. 175H, and other illegal activity, such as larceny, conspiracy, and money laundering.

Primary Duties: The Deputy Division Chief will assist the Division Chief with managing the Division’s Assistant Attorneys General, investigators, and support staff located in Boston.
