Staff Services Manager II (Supervisory)

This is the full supervisory level over analytical and administrative work. In most settings, persons at this level are in charge of a well-established and fully developed Staff Services function in a moderate to large department. Positions at this level normally supervise a moderate to large number of technical staff and spend the majority of their time in supervisory activities as distinct from working level assignments. On rare occasions, positions at this level may function as nonsupervisory experts. Positions at the Staff Services Manager II level may be characterized by the following allocation criteria: (a) In a moderate to large size department, directs a fully developed Staff Services function characterized by the supervision of a moderate to large number of subordinate technical staff. (b) May supervise a small technical staff in a small-to medium-sized department in a specialized operation when one of the following criteria are met: (1) There is responsibility for a complex operation with multiple department influence. (2) There is responsibility for a complex operation that is central to a department's primary mission. (c) Supervises a large group of technical staff in a well-defined and established departmental function, typically through subordinate supervisors. (d) Functions as a nonsupervisory expert in a position that meets all the following criteria: (1) The function to be performed is critical to the department's basic mission. (2) The level of expertise required is definably greater than that for any other supervisory position at this level in terms of both education and experience. (3) The person proposed for the position has an established reputation in the area of expertise required. (e) In a small-to moderate-sized department, directs a variety of Staff Services functions as Chief of Administrative Services.
