Description/Duties

A Management Assistant I performs professional-level administrative duties involving research, analysis, and reporting on a variety of topics related to management programs in support of a department, unit, or program area. Performs related work as required.

Standard assignments are well defined, with incumbents receiving close supervision initially, but progressing to general supervision as they gain experience. Contact with the public may be an important element in this assignment. Duties are performed under the general direction of a department director or above, administrative supervisor, etc. Most work requires the use of initiative and independent judgment and is reviewed by a supervisor through written reports and overall results achieved. This class is distinguished from the class of Management Assistant II by the latter's more diverse and complex nature of assignments, and the greater independence under which the work is performed. Responsibilities may include supervision of clerical, paraprofessional, and/or maintenance classes. This class is FLSA exempt-administrative.
