POSITION SUMMARY:

We’re building out our Data Engineering and Business Intelligence function and seeking a Data Engineering Manager to lead this growing area. This role is both strategic and hands-on: you’ll define and execute our data strategy, oversee data infrastructure, and deliver insights that empower both internal decision-making and customer-facing experiences. You’ll also directly manage and mentor a Data Engineer, shaping the future of how GovDocs leverages data across the business. You’ll thrive here if you’re equal parts strategist and builder: someone who can see the big picture while diving into details when needed. You’ll collaborate across teams, foster data-driven decision making, and bring energy, curiosity, and a growth mindset to building a modern, scalable data function.

COMPANY DESCRIPTION:

GovDocs serves companies in building and executing their employment law compliance programs in two primary ways:

• Employment Law Posting Service: We manage all the complexities of identifying and providing the required set of employment law postings from the 1,700+ potential postings across the U.S. and Canada. Using proprietary technology, we allow companies to manage, track and verify postings at each of their locations – including our patent pending PosterCheck technology. Our Employment Law Posting Update service is used by almost 22% of the Fortune 500 and 30% of the Fortune 100.
• Employment Law Compliance Software Solutions: This is a first to market Software-as-a-Service starting with our Minimum Wage product and Paid Leave products, which allow companies to identify and track which laws apply to their locations and employees, then provides all relevant data to make decisions. This service was created in response to requests from some of our largest customers who recognized that employment law expansion across and variances between jurisdictions (Federal, State and Local) were too difficult to manually track.

GovDocs has grown revenue annually by 18% since 2008 with a 96% customer retention rate, primarily due to our Postings Update Program both obtaining and retaining customers – as employment law postings are required by law, every company has an existing provider. Our Software Solutions are an entirely new line of business that gives us great growth potential to create a full Employment Law Compliance (ELC) platform of solutions, it is also challenging us to reinvent how we view urgency, innovation and teamwork.
You must be authorized to work in the United States. Immigration or work visa sponsorship will not be provided. In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire.
Flexible Work Model: We believe that the best way for us to grow is through a work environment that provides flexibility. Currently, our employees work together in our Eagan, MN office two days a week, where interactions happen with higher frequency and effectiveness to tackle complex problems. This supports collaboration, team engagement, and business innovation. At the same time, we value the benefits of working from home three days a week, where employees have more focused, uninterrupted time with minimal distractions for dedicated project and productive work.
