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.

This position is eligible for telework for applicants who reside in Minnesota or in a bordering state, with supervisory approval and satisfactory performance.

This position exists to support Minnesota’s compliance with federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requirements for the Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS). The primary responsibility is to ensure that Medicaid data—such as claims, encounters, and enrollment—is accurately extracted, transformed, and quality-checked to meet federal specifications and submission requirements.

This role supports the ongoing improvement, documentation, and delivery of T-MSIS data by contributing to a SAS- and SQL-based codebase integrated with the DHS data warehouse and SAS environment. Responsibilities include executing regular data transformations, performing quality assurance and control, and investigating issues identified by CMS or internal stakeholders. The role also involves maintaining technical documentation and collaborating across data, policy, and IT teams.

This position is a key contributor to Minnesota’s federal reporting infrastructure.
