The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and invests in employees by providing benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities.

Come join the Office of Rural Health and Primary Care at the Minnesota Department of Health as a Grant Programs Supervisor where you can help lead expanding state and federal investments that strengthen health care access across rural and underserved communities. In this leadership role, you will guide major grant programs, support strategic rural health initiatives, and supervise a growing team working to improve Minnesota’s health care safety net.

This position offers an exciting opportunity to shape investments, influence policy, and lead a high‑performing team dedicated to advancing equitable access to care.

• Oversee and supervise the grants unit, including staffing, workflow coordination, budgeting, and performance management.
• Direct federal grant and cooperative agreement activities—application review, budgeting, monitoring, reporting, and compliance.
• Manage a major portfolio of state and federal grant programs, including RFP development, review processes, contracting, spending oversight, and evaluation.
• Lead development and delivery of technical assistance for rural and safety‑net providers, including identifying underserved areas and supporting workforce programs.
• Support statewide rural health strategy through research, policy recommendations, planning work, and representation in advisory groups and audits.
