Compliance Investigator

The Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) Office of General Counsel is seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable Compliance Investigator to support investigations within the Department of Compliance & Risk Management across our 10-college district.

This position plays a key role in advancing the District's commitment to compliance with federal and state civil rights laws and Non-Discrimination Policies. The investigator supports the intake, assessment, investigation, and resolution of reports and complaints involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and other civil rights matters involving both students and employees. The position also supports the District's ethics and ombuds reporting system by conducting investigations into reports of misconduct, fraud, safety concerns, and other policy violations, helping ensure concerns are reviewed and resolved in accordance with District policies and procedures.

Working closely with the Director of Equal Opportunity and Investigations, the Compliance team, and campus leadership, the investigator provides investigative support to help ensure reports are addressed promptly, fairly, and in accordance with applicable laws and District policies.

While the primary focus of this position is investigative work, the role may occasionally provide support on pregnancy and parenting matters, as needed, in coordination with the District's Pregnancy & Parenting Analyst.

If you are skilled in investigative work and committed to ensuring fair and equitable processes, we encourage you to apply.
