We can make a dollar move…because we know how to work magic.
Come work for the State Treasurer’s Office and be a part of that magic!

The State Treasurer’s Office is a Constitutional Office in the Executive Branch of Maryland State government. The
Treasurer serves as a fiduciary and the Office’s responsibilities are core to the financial operations of the State – we are
the State’s money-keepers, money-makers, and money-movers. The IT Division supports the Maryland State
Treasurer's Constitutional duties for disbursement, receipts and reconciliation of moneys of the State. The IT
Division plans, builds, programs, manages and supports all of the technology platforms that are used by the Maryland
State Treasurer's Office. These systems run in-house developed programs in tandem with commercially developed
software, providing the agency with highly customized applications that address specific needs.

This position serves as the manager for agency network and data security, and engages in every aspect of
security oversight related to network infrastructure, network administration, and data protection management for
the State Treasurer’s Office. This position works directly with Treasury Management departments including banking,
investments, accounting and insurance, by providing technical expertise and customized solutions while minimizing
network intrusion and data breach security risks. The incumbent is also responsible for managing specialized projects
related to network infrastructure and data protection as part of the Division’s rolling 5-year Plan. In addition, this position
coordinates security-related IT activity in the work areas of technical support and supervision of technical support staff,
networks, web, information and communications services, governance, network security compliance, IT administration
activities, systems analysis and architecture, and related project management. Due to the small size of our agency,
responsibilities cover a wide variety of systems and users, and duties range from Tier 2 help desk support to developing
and implementing Information Security policies, standards and procedures.

The applicant should be prepared for a challenging role that will include providing a broad range of IT support and
visionary solutions needed to keep agency IT systems consistent with cutting-edge technology in the financial arena. In
addition, this individual will be instrumental in the research, recommendation, and execution of security and infrastructure
components of the overall IT strategy plan that will shape the continued direction of the Office. This includes private and
public cloud hosting technology platforms, security monitoring, network architecture, and system upgrades that are
adaptable to carry the agency into the future.

This position requires wide-ranging expert knowledge in order to ensure the security, availability, reliability, and
efficiency of IT systems. This position’s specialization in IT security also requires expert knowledge of IT Security
principles and best practices, sound judgment in application of that knowledge, and ability to thoroughly research issues.
The ideal candidate will show a demonstrated ability to quickly learn new technologies, as well as a demonstrated ability
to communicate and establish/maintain effective working relationships with management, IT co-workers, network users,
and external contacts.

This is a Management Service position which serves at-will at the pleasure of the Maryland State Treasurer.

The ideal candidate should have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university in computer
science, computer information technology, management information systems or other IT-related field, along with
seven (7) years of experience designing, developing, testing, implementing and maintaining application,
communication, database, or operating systems software. In addition, preference will be given to candidates
with any of the following preferred qualifications:

• CompTIA Security Plus

• Comp TIA Network Plus

• Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)
