    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 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.

    Assist with some of the most interesting and challenging tax controversies that Revenue encounters, while delivering equity-first results for Minnesota taxpayers

    The Taxpayer Rights Advocate Office is an independent office within the Department of Revenue. The Advocate reports directly to the commissioner of Revenue. If one has trouble resolving a tax issue with the Department of Revenue and has exhausted all other administrative remedies, the Taxpayer Rights Advocate Office may be able to help explain the options available.

    As an Assistant Advocate (AA), you will skillfully balance technical knowledge with a deep understanding of tax laws and department policies.

    This role is critical because it handles sensitive taxpayer cases with exceptional customer service. Acting as both a mediator and an advocate, the AA ensures fairness and consistency in the application of tax laws.

    Effective collaboration and clear communication are key, as the AA liaises with a variety of stakeholders, fostering trust and maintaining transparency. Creativity is also essential, as the role often requires innovative solutions in situations where existing guidelines may not apply.

    Ultimately, the AA helps to shape the TRA Office's work as a fair and independent voice for taxpayers, contributing to the Department of Revenue's mission to apply tax laws with impartiality and transparency.

    Telework is available and negotiated at the time of hire. There may be periodic in office requirements as directed by management. The employee will be required to complete a telework agreement.
