Position Description

00104802 - 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 subfunctional 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 multidepartmental 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 multidepartmental or servicewide 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 servicewide 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.
