About The JobThe Manager of Strategic Program Analysis will report to the Chief Strategy Officer and will be responsible for building and leading a team of analysts at the intersection of policy development and business analysis. This position will serve as the first Strategic Program Analysis team member and co-create the function with senior leadership in the division. The Manager of Strategic Program Analysis will support the evolution of a team dedicated to making policy easy to understand for various audiences – ensuring consistent understanding inside and outside the division.
The Manager of Strategic Program Analysis serves an important integration role – bridging the gap between what the law requires and what our users need. The Manager will work closely with partners within and outside of state government to ensure our program is compliant with the enabling statute and responsive to the needs of our partners. They will ensure this through policy analysis, rulemaking, and clear documentation of key business decisions and processes.
This position will have the opportunity to build out a team of analysts to support this work. They will work closely with the rest of the Strategy team to meet people where they are, understand their needs, and use that understanding to ensure the program is easy to use and effective. This team will also collaborate with others within the Paid Leave division to ensure consistency in policy interpretation and operational decision-making. This role is an exciting opportunity to develop deep subject matter expertise in the Paid Leave program and make a positive impact in the lives of many Minnesotans.
About Paid LeavePaid Leave is a new program launching in 2026. The program will provide partial wage replacement to Minnesota workers who are out of work due to a qualifying condition, such as a serious health condition that prevents a person from working or when someone needs time to care for a family member or a new child.
We are building a program that will be easy for every Minnesotan to use. We are engaging the people who depend on us—workers, employers, caregivers, and insurers—to learn from them and build the program around what they need. We are using modern service delivery and product practices to deliver the program. The Paid Leave team has high standards and an unrelenting commitment to serving Minnesotans. It is a start-up environment without legacy systems or preconceived ways of working. Our aim is to deliver a service that delights Minnesotans.
Key ResponsibilitiesThis position will build out the vision for the Strategic Program Analysis Team, including setting goals and objectives and designing the organization to best serve the needs of the division. The position will then execute the vision, iterating as necessary, to bring the work to fruition and drive the desired outcomes, ensuring clear policy, strong implementation, and meeting needs for partners and the public.
Develop program policy, conduct research, and document evidence, decisions, processes, user stories, and requirements to serve product team(s), experience owners, IT partners, and the rest of the division, bringing policy expertise and business/program analysis across division initiatives.
Support rulemaking/regulatory and legislative processes through clear documentation of policy issues, ensuring the program is well-defined for all partners, in keeping with administration’s intent, of best service to Minnesotans, and that barriers to implementation are mitigated.
Build, mentor, and manage a high-performing Strategic Program Analysis team that nurtures a customer-driven culture fostering innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement to drive success.
