This is the second level in the Management Analyst I/II/III series. The Management Analyst level is dependent on the scope and complexity of the assignment. Positions are assigned to Management Analyst II if they are performing duties of moderate to high scope and complexity. This class is distinguished from the Management Analyst I in that the latter performs duties of moderate complexity with narrower scope of responsibility, may serve as an entry/trainee class to promote to a designated Management Analyst II, and may not full supervise staff. Management Analyst II is distinguished from Management Analyst III in that the latter manages and may fully supervise Management Analysts and professional staff in addition to support and technical staff.

The Eligible List established by this recruitment process may be used to fill current and future vacancies on a regular full-time, part-time, or temporary basis.
