Under general direction, the Staff Services Manager, manages, supervises and administers one or more department or branch-wide staff services functions; plans, organizes, directs, and controls functional activities pertaining to general, fiscal, and/or personnel services; performs highly advanced and complex analytical duties in support of the assigned function(s); and performs related duties as assigned.

This is the highly advanced/management-level class in the professional Staff Services series. In a small department, incumbents may be responsible for managing and administering several staff services functions. In a larger department, incumbents are typically responsible for managing and administering a single, department or branch-wide staff services function, depending on the size and scope of that function. In addition to managing and administering the assigned function(s), the incumbent also performs highly advanced and complex analytical work. Depending on the department the position may or may not supervise subordinate clerical, technical, and/or professional staff. Instead, positions are primarily characterized by their functional management responsibilities over an administrative area and providing subject-matter expertise based upon a highly specialized knowledge, skills and abilities.

The Staff Services Manager classification is distinguished from the Supervising Staff Services Analyst in that the latter is primarily a first level supervisor over a group of professional analyst staff.

The Staff Services Manager classification is distinguished from the class of Senior Staff Services Manager in that the latter describes a position that has a high level of responsibility for planning, organizing, directing, staffing and controlling the staff and/or operations for an assigned work unit through a subordinate professional staff; e.g., Staff Services Manager, Supervisory Staff Services Analyst.

The Staff Services Manager differs from program manager classifications in that incumbents in the former manage administrative rather than program-related functions pertaining to Health and Human Services programs.

Assignment as a Staff Services Manager can emphasize one the following options: personnel or fiscal analysis; or, incumbents may be assigned to perform general duties that encompass a broad scope of administrative analytical functions and areas of responsibility that include personnel and/or fiscal analysis. For positions specifically assigned to a specialized option, specific minimum qualifications and recruitments are permitted.
