This classification is further distinguished from the IS Applications Support Analyst - Senior in that the latter is responsible for the daily technical and functional direction of assigned staff, work is performed within a broad framework of general policy requiring creativity and resourcefulness to accomplish goals and objectives, applies concepts, plans, and strategies which may deviate from established methods and practices, and regularly leads projects of critical importance and substantial consequence of success or failure to the County. At the III level incumbents may serve as technical lead for assigned projects and may be asked to train assigned staff, but unlike the Senior-level, the III-level does not provide lead direction to staff on a regular basis. Positions in this classification may be further distinguished by the area of specialty to which assigned.
