** The work you'll do is more than just a job.*
* 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. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities.

This position, located in the Office of Statewide Health Improvement Initiatives (OSHII), coordinates and manages grants for the Cannabis and Substance Use Prevention (CSUP) program and the Statewide Health Improvement Partnership (SHIP). Although the role may focus primarily on one grant program, Grants Managers are cross trained across both CSUP and SHIP to ensure consistent grant administration, provide cross-coverage, and maintain continuity as program needs, staffing, and funding evolve.

CSUP supports community-based cannabis and substance use prevention efforts, while SHIP advances community-driven policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) strategies that promote healthy eating, physical activity, commercial tobacco prevention, and well-being. This position is part of OSHII's Community Initiatives Unit and works closely with local public health and other agency staff involved in prevention.

Key responsibilities include:

+ Providing consultation, guidance, technical assistance, and support to local public health partners.

+ Administering grants for local public health agencies.

+ Coordinating with OSHII staff to ensure partners have access to technical assistance.

+ Building and maintaining respectful, authentic relationships with local public health partners and collaborators to reduce disparities among populations disproportionately affected by cannabis and substance use.

+ Collecting, monitoring, and managing evaluation data, including ensuring data quality and supporting data use for quality improvement.

Additional duties include contract administration, financial analysis, coordinating contract and amendment drafting and review, contributing to policy and procedure development, and supporting coordination across programs. The role also includes recommending service withholding or corrective action in cases of non-compliance.

_In accordance with HR/LR Policy #1422 Telework, this position is eligible for up to 50% telework for applicants who live in Minnesota or in a bordering state within 50 miles of the assigned work location. Candidates residing outside of Minnesota further than 50 miles of the assigned work location at the time of application must be able to relocate to Minnesota within 30 days of their start date.

The telework policy may exempt employees who live more than 50 miles from their primary work location from the 50% in-office requirement, depending on job requirements, helping the State of Minnesota access top talent across the state._
