The work you'll do is more than just a job. At the State of Minnesota, employees play a critical role in developing policies, providing essential services, and improving the well-being and quality of life for all Minnesotans. The State of Minnesota is committed to equity and inclusion, and investments in employees include benefits, support resources, and training and development opportunities.

The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for directing the Minnesota Correctional Industry Program (MINNCOR Industries) for the Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) to advance MINNCOR's mission of providing incarcerated individuals with real world job skills and work habits through its various industries, preparing them for successful reentry and reducing recidivism. By operating a self-sufficient, market-driven business model the CEO ensures that MINNCOR generates the revenue necessary to sustain and expand its rehabilitative mission.

The CEO should be a thoughtful and inspiring leader with a compelling vision for the manufacturing industry, developing business strategies, building and fostering client relationships, and driving innovation to support MINNCOR's mission.

• Strategic Leadership: Direct the management, administration, and strategic planning of MINNCOR to maximize the number of incarcerated participants who gain meaningful, high-demand vocational skills while producing quality products and services.
• Business Development: Direct the production and service functions of MINNCOR to the public and private sector customers as cost-effectively as possible; lead marketing, new product and business development, and product enhancement efforts.
• Operational Excellence: Provide consultation to the Commissioner's office staff, legislative task forces, committees, and advisory boards to inform, support, fund, identify new customers and ideas, and resolve issues.
• Financial Oversight: Direct MINNCOR’s budgets to meet financial goals and requirements.
• Client and Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain trusted relationships with organizations, other state agencies, clients, and stakeholders.
• Team Leadership: Lead and pace a high-performing leadership team with communicative and tailored support.

MINNCOR Industries was created in 1994 by the Minnesota Department of Corrections to consolidate facility programs into a statewide business, increasing efficiency and decreasing reliance on the state's general fund. MINNCOR provides incarcerated individuals with job skills, meaningful employment, and work habits training to support reentry and reduce recidivism. It operates a self-sufficient business with multiple facilities and product lines across Minnesota.
