• The occupational field of program management work involves directing or carrying out assignments in one or more programs that are directly related to the department's/agency's mission of providing services to County residents.

This field of work is distinguished from management-support functions such as personnel, budgeting or other administrative-type tasks which are designed to facilitate the activities of other employees providing direct services. The majority of contacts are with employees in the same or other departments and agencies of the County government, State and Federal agencies, non-profit and private sector organizations. The purpose of the contacts, which normally are of a cooperative nature, but can be difficult, with both parties working toward mutual goals, are for planning, coordinating or resolving program operating problems.

The employee independently plans and carries out the aspects of program development, implementation and evaluation, and resolves problems and deviations in accordance with policies and program practices.

The supervisor provides assistance for unusual situations and reviews methods and approaches used in carrying out the employee's program support activities for conformance to policy and established requirements. The employee adapts standard program practices and procedures to meet situations or cases not fully covered by existing guidelines, and modification of current guides. Decisions involve conditions and factors that must be identified and analyzed to determine relationships with existing criteria.

Work output affects the social, physical or emotional well-being of program participants or recipients of services. The work is primarily sedentary, is performed in an office environment and presents no significant hazards. While some employees may direct programs of limited scope and/or supervise other employees, this is atypical of the class.
