Staff Services Manager III

Positions at this level have full management and supervisory responsibility in charge of a major Staff Services function, or functions, when it is so unusually large and complex as to require subordinate supervisors at the Senior level on a sub functional or geographic basis. In those cases where the supervisory and management responsibility is minimum, it must be balanced out by responsibility for a function with multi-departmental or statewide impact requiring skills and knowledge at the highest level with responsibility for work of the most critical or sensitive nature as relates to a department's primary mission. Positions at this level are characterized by the following criteria: (a) Supervises a fully developed Staff Services function in a large department characterized by multiple intermediate supervisors at the Staff Services Manager II level and a large technical staff. (b) Functions as a full supervisor with responsibility for a moderate to large size technical staff in a highly specialized and complex operation when one of the following criteria are met: (1) Responsibility for a highly complex Staff Services function with multi-departmental or service wide impact. (2) Responsibility for the major portion of a Staff Services function of the largest State departments, supervising a large staff through subordinate supervisors. (c) In an agency setting, provides a high degree of expertise in developing major new programs of agency or service wide scope. (d) Provides a high level of assistance and expertise to an exempt director, executive officer, or Board member of a large, highly complex and sensitive department, in reaching organization goals, including responsibility for policy and program evaluation and recommendations often coupled with legislative liaison. (e) Has full responsibility for a variety of Staff Services functions in a medium size department as Chief of Administrative Services, administering the functions through intermediate function supervisors.
