APPLICATION AND SELECTION PROCESS section of this job announcement below.
Definition
Under direction, performs moderately difficult and complex
administrative and analytical work that may involve and/or emphasize the
functional areas of: general and administrative support, fiscal and contract
management, program analysis and compliance, staff development and training,
and/or information systems support; and performs other related duties as
required.
Distinguishing Characteristics
This is the full journey-level class in the professional
Administrative Services Analyst series. At this level, incumbents use
substantial independent judgment to make decisions on work issues, including
those that are unusual or fall outside of established parameters. Incumbents
often perform duties that are highly specialized to the work unit, emphasizing
one or more of the following functional areas: general and administrative
support, fiscal and contract management, program analysis and compliance, staff
development and training, and/or information systems support. Consequently,
specialized recruitments may be held to attract applicants by functional area.
This class can be distinguished from the entry-level class
of Associate Administrative Services Analyst because assignments at that level
are less difficult and complex than those assigned to an Administrative
Services Analyst, and are performed under greater supervision and have less
authority to act. An Associate Administrative Services Analyst performs basic
and routine analytical assignments that may be repetitive and do not require
extensive, in-depth analysis.
This class may also be distinguished from the higher-level

perform advanced and highly complex assignments that typically include
comprehensive responsibility for overseeing one or more complex administrative
functions for an entire department, as well as supervision of staff.
