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.
The Business Relations (BR) Assistant Director is responsible for supporting the BR Director in managing the BR areas of DVS and serve in the BR Director's capacity in their absence. BR is comprised of the following DVS programs:
Business Systems Program. This program hosts all the business (other than MNIT) resources for the entirety of the state's credential and titling system (MNDRIVE), as well as the direct support of both Deputy Registrar (DR) and Driver's License Agent (DLA). The maintenance, enhancement, and utilization of MNDRIVE, a multimillion-dollar application, is critical to DVS' ability to fulfill our mission as it serves as our official system of record.
Deputy Support Program. This program provides direct support to DR's and DLAs. As part of the larger ecosystem for delivering services to Minnesotans, the statutorily authorized deputy offices conduct DVS business on behalf of DVS. These entities could be local city, municipality, or county government, or privately owned corporations. This DVS program ensures our deputy offices have the training, information, and tools they need to successfully support Minnesotans. In addition to direct support, BR also reviews and audits DR and DLA offices.
This position will support the BR Program Director in all facets of BR program management, to include but not limited to, strategic planning, operational management, policy development, legislative implementation, regulatory compliance, budget management, and organizational management. The BR Assistant Program Director will be directly responsible for the BR program's operational management, regulatory compliance, and legislative implementation, and will escalate to the BR Program Director as needed.
