Job description

Dynamis is seeking a Junior Criminal Analyst to be a frontline contributor to one of HSI’s highest-visibility enforcement missions: protecting the integrity of the U.S. workforce through Worksite Enforcement Unit (WSEU) operations. Embedded alongside HSI special agents, the analyst performs the systematic examination of I-9 employment documents, business records, and government data indices that drives national and international worksite enforcement investigations. The work is fast-paced, detail-critical, and consequential — the analytical products this position helps build feed directly into Notices of Inspection, Notices of Intent to Fine, and other court-authorized enforcement actions. Dynamis offers this analyst a rare entry point into federal law enforcement investigations, hands‑on mentorship from senior investigators, and a clear path to grow into advanced compliance and investigative roles.

Responsibilities:

• Examine and analyze employer I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification forms, payroll records, corporate filings, and related employment documentation to surface compliance gaps and potential violations of federal immigration employment statutes, working shoulder-to-shoulder with investigators.
• Query and cross‑reference law enforcement and commercial database systems to detect anomalies, patterns, and discrepancies that advance active and developing investigations.
• Draft clear, accurate, and defensible case summaries, analytical reports, and findings that withstand scrutiny and directly support worksite enforcement actions.
• Contribute to liaison activities that connect national and international investigative programs, initiatives, and partner agencies.
• Maintain meticulous, well‑organized case files in full compliance with DHS/ICE data handling and privacy protocols, helping identify potential violations of federal employment eligibility and worksite compliance laws.
• Prepare briefing materials and analytical support products for site visits, enforcement actions, and senior staff engagements.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in criminal justice, business administration, public administration, law, or a closely related field.
• One to two years of relevant professional experience in compliance, investigations, legal support, immigration services, or a related discipline is required.
• Candidates must possess strong analytical and research skills with demonstrated ability to review and synthesize large volumes of documentation and data.
• Effective written and oral communication skills are essential, as the position requires preparation of written analytical products and regular coordination with federal law enforcement personnel.
• Proven ability to perform high-volume, accurate data entry of paper documents into electronic format and to conduct database queries across law enforcement and commercial systems in support of detailed reporting.
• Candidates must be able to obtain and maintain a ICE suitability determination.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen.

Preferred:

• Experience working with federal law enforcement or regulatory agencies is highly desirable. Familiarity with employment eligibility verification requirements, including Form I-9 compliance and E-Verify, is a strong plus.
• Prior exposure to HSI, ICE, or other DHS component operations, as well as experience handling sensitive or law enforcement-controlled data, is preferred.
• Proficiency with government database systems or investigative case management platforms is advantageous.
