Administrative Analyst (Fiscal Division)

Administrative Analyst

The Sacramento Fire Department is seeking a highly organized and motivated Administrative Analyst to serve as a finance liaison. This position will work closely with both sworn and professional staff to provide support with essential finance transactions for the entire department. Primary responsibilities will include reviewing procurement financial transactions, fiscal analysis and journal posting, fiscal grant management, and deployment cost recovery management. This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented professional who thrives in a dynamic environment and values teamwork, communication and service excellence.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in finance which includes budgeting, accounting, and statistical analysis. A background in government finance is preferred.

Additionally, the ideal candidate will have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to :

• Conduct complex data and financial analysis, and prepare complex reports using Microsoft Excel;
• Understand project management concepts and utilize project management techniques to track initiatives and deliverables;
• Train clerical and technical staff;
• Conduct presentations for large groups;
• Promote a professional and customer-oriented culture, effectively communicate with co-workers and customers, and understand the importance of working within a cohesive team environment.

This journey-level classification is populated with multiple incumbents. Incumbents may be assigned to perform either the entire range of support functions and administrative and technical duties for a division or department or a broad range of functional program management duties for programs with department or Citywide impact.

Responsibilities require a complete knowledge of departmental policies, programmatic, or project operating policies and procedures. The Administrative Analyst may specialize in one program area or may have broader responsibility for multiple internal service functions. Incumbents may independently perform moderately complex professional or program management work and make independent decisions on routine activities; or may perform complex professional or program management work under closer direction and exercise less independent judgment and discretion.

The Administrative Analyst is distinguished from the next higher-level class of Administrative Officer in that the latter is responsible for the administration and management of programs and projects or all centralized administrative services for a department or major division with high visibility and substantial Citywide impact.

General direction is provided by higher-level department or division administrative personnel. Responsibilities may include the indirect supervision of technical and clerical personnel.
