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 Commercial Tobacco Financial Analyst exists to provide analysis and management of financial projects and legal agreements vital to the efficient operation of the Commercial Tobacco Prevention & Control (CTPC) Section within the Division of Injury Prevention & Mental Health. The incumbent will facilitate budget spenddown reporting, invoicing, grants administration, provider and vendor contracting, and financial reconciliation activities that assure compliance with MDH and federal grantor requirements. Most importantly, this position exists to assist with fiscal and budgetary analysis, development of business procedures, and business operations needed for decision-making and long-range planning for the CTPC Section.

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.

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.

This position is currently funded and approved to be filled.¿While the position is funded¿at this time, future funding is dependent on the continuation of¿our¿funding sources. The Minnesota Department of Health works proactively to sustain programs and¿maintain¿our workforce, to avoid reductions in force to the¿very best¿of our ability.¿In¿the event of¿a¿loss of funding resulting in a necessary¿workforce reduction, that¿process¿is¿governed by¿our¿collective bargaining agreements and compensation plans.¿¿
