About the role

Cumberland County invites applications for the Lead Investigator role supporting the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative grant. The position focuses on inventorying kits, supervising chain of custody, and coordinating casework with partner agencies. A federally funded, limited-term assignment ends in October 2027, with potential extension. The role requires law enforcement experience, a Maine driver's license, and the ability to learn new investigative techniques.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
