Civil Enforcement Division, Consumer Protection – Attorney-in-Charge
The Oregon Department of Justice is seeking an outstanding leader and litigator to be the next Attorney-in-Charge of the Consumer Protection Section of the Civil Enforcement Division. This position is Portland-based with opportunities for working remotely on a hybrid schedule.
Consumer Protection is a policy priority of the Attorney General. The Consumer Protection Section protects Oregonians against consumer fraud and abuse through outreach and education and by invoking the Attorney General’s civil enforcement authority to deter, stop, and punish unlawful conduct. The section assists consumers by addressing consumer complaints, providing alerts about scams, offering educational resources, and enforcing the Unlawful Trade Practices Act, commonly known as Oregon’s consumer protection law.
The Attorney-in-Charge (AIC) leads a multidisciplinary team of attorneys, investigators, legal support staff, and consumer complaint specialists to accomplish this important mission. The AIC will have the opportunity to develop relationships with colleagues around the country in a multistate practice. The AIC will help build out and expand Oregon’s consumer protection efforts. The AIC will play an important role in strategic planning for the section, as well is in recruiting, mentoring and developing section attorneys.
The AIC will coordinate with Civil Enforcement Division leadership, other sections within the Department, and the Office of the Attorney General. The AIC will have the opportunity to influence enforcement decisions through selecting cases and developing investigative and legal strategies. The AIC also assists in responding to media and public records inquiries and may also interact with legislators and their staff.
The AIC is part of the Civil Enforcement Division management team and helps formulate and implement policy for the division and the department. The Oregon Department of Justice promotes diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging among our employees and seeks an applicant with awareness and commitment to these values. As we advise our clients and engage with one another, these values motivate and guide our actions.
