Customer service is the primary job of the Secretary of State office. And while it obviously is at the center of administering all things relating to motor vehicles, did you know the Secretary of State also is responsible for conducting all statewide elections?

There are roughly 1,800 people employed by the Secretary of State, more than two-thirds working in and around Lansing, the state capital.

Employment opportunities with the Secretary of State include a variety of administrative support and professional positions in such areas as:

• Driver and vehicle record processing

• Budget and finance

• Information technology

• Human resources management

• Property management and legal services

• Branch office supervisors and aides

• Departmental procedures and policy analysts

• Elections specialists

• Regulatory investigators and specialists

Like many state offices, the Secretary of State doesn't process its own job postings. Instead, it relies on Michigan's centralized Civil Service Vacancy Posting System to recruit applicants. Most of the jobs are open to the general public, but some―especially those that require a more detailed knowledge of the office and of state government―often are not listed and are filled from internal applicants. Other information about all types of government jobs is also available.
