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.
About the Paid Leave Division:
Paid Leave is a new program that launched January 1, 2026. The program provides partial wage replacement to Minnesota workers that are out of work due to a qualifying condition such as a serious health condition that prevents you from working, or when you need time to care for a family member or a new child.
We have built a program that is 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 continue to improve the program around what they need. We are using modern delivery service 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.
The Document Management Specialist (DMS) oversees the full lifecycle of all Paid Leave program documentation across multiple intake channels, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timely movement that supports eligibility determinations and operational workflows. As the program’s document-workflow expert, the DMS uses independent judgment to assess document sufficiency, route materials appropriately, and resolve issues that affect program outcomes. The role also advises internal teams on document interpretation and workflow requirements, identifies systemic problems, recommends operational improvements, contributes to SOP development, and collaborates with technical and product teams to enhance program systems.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Electronic Document Administration & Program Intake Management: Independently administers the intake, evaluation, quality review, and routing of all electronic Paid Leave documents, ensuring accurate metadata, proper workflow assignment, timely processing, and escalation of high-risk items.
- Physical Mail Governance & Intake Security Operations: Manages all physical mail intake, including secure handling, digitization, fraud-prevention procedures, chain-of-custody compliance, and integration into Salesforce workflows.
- Quality Assurance, Compliance Oversight & Continuous Improvement: Conducts QA checks and audits, identifies systemic documentation issues, ensures adherence to privacy and retention standards, and contributes to SOP updates and process improvements.
- Cross-Functional Support, Document Research & Request Fulfillment: Serves as the document subject matter expert, responding to internal and external document requests, researching missing or ambiguous items, resolving errors, and communicating with partners to obtain required documentation.
