Administrative Analyst I/II is a flexibly-staffed class series. Positions allocated to the I/II levels are normally filled at the I level. Advancement from the I to the II level is at the discretion of the appointing authority, provided that the following criteria are met: (1) the minimum qualifications and time-in-grade requirements, (2) demonstration of the ability to independently perform the full scope of the assigned duties, and (3) assignment and performance of the duties of the advanced journey level as defined in the Distinguishing Characteristics of the Administrative Analyst II below.

Administrative Analyst I is the journey level class and serves as the entry into the series. It provides experienced administrative support at the professional level in one or more support areas that may include general, professional support on projects related to budget, finance, personnel/human resources, contracts and grants, procurement, economic development, public outreach, or other assignments; compiles and analyzes data; participates in design and implementation of systems, procedures and programs.

Administrative Analyst II is the advanced journey level in the series, which is responsible for technical assignments requiring focused experience in one or more specialized subject areas, rather than general municipal administration and analytical support. This level is responsible for performing the full range of specialized and technical duties in such areas as economic development, housing, personnel/human resources management, financial analysis and budget development, contract management/administration, grant writing and management/administration, community engagement, strategic communications and public relations, and other identified technical support activities to the County.

Incumbents in these positions are assigned significant responsibilities at the advanced level that require, depending upon the area assigned, specialized knowledge, skills, experience, and the ability to exercise independent judgment in the performance of their duties.

Administrative Analyst I/II is distinguished from Senior Administrative Analyst by the higher level of complexity and difficulty of the assigned work and/or the number of staff supervised by the Senior level. While Administrative Analyst I/II may supervise and perform complex work, the Senior Administrative Analyst typically provides direct supervision to a larger staff and is assigned significant responsibilities at the expert level that require, depending upon the area assigned, highly specialized knowledge, skills, and/or experience.
