State of Arizona

The State of Arizona is the government of Arizona, a state in the south-western United States admitted to the Union in 1912. It delivers public services to millions of residents through a network of departments, agencies, boards and commissions, and employs more than 10,000 people. Its work spans information technology, quality assurance, transportation infrastructure, tax administration, public health and wildlife conservation, alongside social services and revenue administration.

The scale of the operation is considerable. The Department of Economic Security serves over 3m residents, while the Arizona Game and Fish Department manages more than 800 wildlife species. The state government runs on the Arizona Management System (AMS), a management approach built around continuous improvement, customer service and results-driven governance.

For staff, the state prioritises work-life balance and offers flexible work arrangements, including remote options within Arizona. The organisation describes its mission as funding Arizona's priorities and creating thriving communities, with an emphasis on innovation and public service. Headquarters and operations are located across Arizona; further information is published at https://az.gov/.
