Administrative Analysts perform financial, budgetary, analytical, and project management assignments with County-wide impact, including Human Resources. Positions in this class series are flexibly staffed. Assistant: This is the entry, trainee, and first working level class in the Administrative Analyst series. Incumbents perform work of moderate difficulty and complexity. Incumbents normally receive on-the-job training and perform specific assignments of a well-defined nature and limited in scope. Work is subject to review in progress as well as upon completion. Advancement to the Administrative Analyst II level is based on demonstrated proficiency in performing the assigned functions and is at the discretion of higher level supervisory or management staff. Associate: This is the experienced, journey level class in the Administrative Analyst series. Incumbents work with more independence performing work that is more difficult and complex than the next lower level class of Assistant Administrative Analyst.

The incumbent develops and implements County-wide organizational strategies and policies and performs highly complex analysis in various functions such as finance, operations, and administration for the Administrative Office. Incumbents may manage functions or programs such as the budget and financial strategies for the County, Purchasing/ Planning, Human Resources, contracts, and other activities. Work is performed within a broad framework of general policy and is judged primarily on overall results with considerable latitude in determining work methods and assignment requirements. The employee exercises authority over assignments and makes decisions required to complete the work. This is a flexibly staffed series. Flexible staffing refers to positions where the department head has the ability to promote employees from the entry level of a classification to the journey level based on the employee gaining the required experience and knowledge to perform journey level duties and enabling language in a class specification. Flexible staffing is to be used in a class series in which both entry and working level classes are assigned the same kinds of duties with the difference being scope of duties performed, the level of skills required, and the amount of supervision received. The authority for flexibly staffed positions is contained within individual job descriptions. Flexibly staffed positions not budgeted may not be filled unless budget appropriations have been approved prior to the employee’s advancement from one level to the next.
