Description:

The Mississippi Secretary of States Office is seeking a qualified contractor with 10 years or greater of relevant experience to provide

services for the Statewide Elections Management System (SEMS). This position will be responsible for overseeing all SEMS

referring inquiries to appropriate authorized agency personnel or other official sources and communicating the guidance received.

This contractual position will operate within the Elections Division of the Mississippi Secretary of States Office and report directly to

the Assistant Secretary of State for Elections or their designee. The anticipated weekly work schedule, including the number of hours

worked and any required onsite presence, will be mutually agreed upon following contractor selection but prior to contract award.

Total compensated hours shall not exceed 1,040 hours per calendar year, regardless of the agreed-upon weekly schedule or work

arrangement.

through resolution, and communicate effectively with technical and nontechnical stakeholders. Experience providing system

consultation, user support, and training to government personnel or other end users is highly desirable.

Elections Management System (SEMS) is required.
