Position Description

00104800 - STAFF SERVICES MANAGER I

The Staff Services Manager I level is typically the first working supervisor level. Employees at this level supervise a small group of analysts performing journeyperson level work and personally perform the most difficult or sensitive work. In the smaller departments or where the particular Staff Services function is not fully developed, a Staff Services Manager I may direct a function such as management analysis, budgeting, or personnel. In a medium to large department, or in a central agency function, positions at this level may supervise a portion of a function when it is so large as to require subordinate supervisors in terms of number of technical staff. On rare occasions, positions at this level may function as project leaders, coordinating the work of others through task force type organizations. This leadership role must be accompanied by a role as a highly skilled, independent consultant with the ability to act authoritatively in a functional specialty. Positions allocated to this level may be described by the following criteria:

(a) In a small-to moderate-sized department, directs a fully developed Staff Services function such as personnel, fiscal, or management analysis.
(b) In a medium size department, directs a developing Staff Services function.
(c) Supervises a small group of professional or technical analysts through the Associate Analyst level with responsibility for a major subsection of a Staff Services function.

(d) Functions as a recognized authority in an area of extreme sensitivity, with ongoing coordinating responsibility over other analysts in a sensitive area of a department's operation, usually on a task force or project basis.

(e) Directs a variety of Staff Services functions in a very small department as Chief of Administrative Services.

(f) Functions as a nonsupervisory staff specialist in a difficult and sensitive program development, policy, or coordination position.

For information regarding position location(s), please refer to the Eligible List Information section.
