<div>About this Position
The Medical-Legal Death Investigation Supervisor plays a vital leadership role at the intersection of public health, public safety, and justice in Lane County. This position is responsible for supervising and supporting the medical-legal death investigation team while also having the ability to occasionally perform complex death investigations involving traumatic, suspicious, unattended or unexplained deaths.
This team is not a desk-only group. Our MLDI&rsquo;s are responsible for 24/7 response to death scenes, coordinating with law enforcement, medical providers, the State Medical Examiner, and the District Attorney&rsquo;s Office, while ensuring investigations are conducted with accuracy, integrity, and compassion. The work directly supports grieving families, informs legal and public health decisions, and upholds the community&rsquo;s trust in local government.
As the supervisor, you will guide and mentor professional death investigators, set investigative priorities, ensure compliance with Oregon statutes and professional standards, and continually improve investigative practices, documentation, and service delivery. You will also serve as a key liaison with community partners and internal stakeholders, helping ensure clear communication, cultural awareness, and professionalism in some of the County&rsquo;s most sensitive work. This position is also responsible for the day-to-day supervision of the unit&rsquo;s employees and operations.
This role is ideal for an experienced medical-legal death investigator or forensic professional with proven leadership skills. We are looking for an established supervisor who values hands-on work, team development, and public service, familiarity with unionized work environments is a plus. If you are motivated by purpose, capable of navigating high-stakes situations with calm and clarity and committed to serving the community with dignity and accountability, we encourage you to apply.
