The Town of Hillsborough is seeking a Management Analyst to work in the City Manager's Office.

DEFINITION

Under general supervision, plans, schedules, assigns, reviews, supervises, and participates in the planning, development, and implementation of programmatic responsibilities related to the department or program to which assigned; participates in complex policy development and strategic planning; analyzes practices and procedures and makes recommendations for administrative and operational improvements; coordinates assigned activities with other divisions, outside agencies, and the general public; and performs related duties as assigned.

 

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED

Receives general supervision from assigned supervisory or management personnel.  Exercises direct supervision over professional, technical, and administrative staff.

 

Class Characteristics

Management Analyst I: This is the entry-level classification in the Management Analyst series.  Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine analytical work in support of a department or Town programs.  As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently.  Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Management Analyst II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods.  Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern.  Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

 

Management Analyst II:  This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Management Analyst series.  Positions at this level are distinguished from the Management Analyst I by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, exercising judgment and initiative, and providing lead direction to assigned staff.  Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.  This class is distinguished from the Senior Management Analyst in that the latter is a supervisory class and performs the more complex work assigned to the series, such as serving as a technical expert in multiple disciplinary and programmatic areas and/or managing complex, politically sensitive, and/or Town-wide projects,

Senior Management Analyst:  This is the full supervisory-level class in the Management Analyst series that exercises independent judgment on diverse and specialized management analysis and program/project management with accountability and ongoing decision-making responsibilities associated with the work.  Incumbents are responsible for planning, organizing, supervising, reviewing, and evaluating the work of staff and for providing analytical and programmatic support to management in a variety of areas.  Performance of the work requires the use of independence, initiative, and discretion within established guidelines.
