EMWD Job Classification - Management Analyst I/II

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS: 

Management Analyst I:  This is the entry-level classification in the Management Analyst series.  Initially under general supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine analytical work in support of a department or District-wide program.  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, and exercising judgment and initiative.  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 performs the more complex work assigned to the series, such as providing staff support at an advanced level on District-wide, departmental, and inter-governmental issues and/or providing technical and functional direction over lower-level staff.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED:

Receives general supervision (Management Analyst I) or direction (Management Analyst II) from assigned supervisory or management personnel.
