This position will function as the Application Development team Administrative Manager for Agency Services supporting Michigan Department of Education (MDE) Educator Workforce applications and Center for Educational Performance and Information (CEPI) applications within the Department of Technology, Management and Budget. The administrative manager will be the second line manager for this work area and will be responsible for carrying out management duties for first line managers and their staff. The manager is responsible for providing direction and control of functions and activities in the work area including establishing priorities, allocating staff, and ensuring that first line supervisors handle administrative, supervisory, and planning functions. The supervisory functions that this position manages include employee evaluation, counseling, selection, provision of technical and policy guidance and training of employees.

If you are a self-motivated person with a proven track record, who seeks challenging work in a high-paced environment, we are interested in hearing from you.
