Administrative Services Analyst I-II (Finance)
ABOUT THE POSITION
The County of Riverside's Department of Environmental Health has an opportunity for an Administrative Services Analyst I/II to join their Special Projects Team which is responsible for overseeing more than 30 areas of law, including state, federal, and local ordinances. The level at which this position is filled will be at the discretion of the department.
This role will involve managing contracts with vendors and service providers, ensuring that all contractual requirements are met, and maintaining comprehensive records. The Analyst will also be responsible for project management, developing and implementing policies and procedures, conducting audits to ensure compliance, and coordinating with internal and external stakeholders. The position requires someone with a strong understanding of contract management, policy creation, and auditing, as well as the ability to manage multiple projects effectively while ensuring deadlines and compliance standards are met.
In addition, the Analyst will be tasked with maintaining organized documentation, preparing compliance reports for the Executive Office and state agencies, and communicating directly with field staff, other offices, and the public. Outreach efforts will also be essential, including working closely with various departments to ensure that policies are effectively implemented. The ideal candidate will have experience in project management, contract management, and policy development, as well as strong written and verbal communication skills. Organizational abilities and a keen attention to detail are crucial, along with proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and project management software.
The Administrative Services Analyst (ASA) I is distinguished from the Administrative Services Analyst II by the latter's performance of complex and difficult assignments requiring a lesser degree of review and a higher level of independence. The ASA I is a natural progression underfill for the ASA II. Incumbents are eligible to promote to ASA II after obtaining one year of experience as an ASA I, receiving a satisfactory performance evaluation, and meeting the educational and/or experience requirements.
