* At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and working to improve the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans.

This position will be responsible for meeting the unit's goals and objectives through implementing grants and contracts (state, federal, and private), including management of requests for proposals, application review, award contracting, invoicing, monitoring, and ensuring grantee compliance with funding source requirements in coordination with VPPU supervisor, program directors and staff.

Additionally, the position will be responsible for understanding, updating, and implementing policies and procedures related to grant and contract management within the VPPU, Injury & Violence Prevention Section, Injury Prevention and Mental Health Division (IPMH), Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), and the state enterprise.
