Distinguishing Characteristics
The Management Assistant series is distinguished from the Secretarial Assistant series due to the assignment of professional duties such as administrative research, identifying, analyzing and recommending solutions to procedural and/or operational problems or processes, and report preparation. Work is typically assigned on a project basis and generally does not involve the reoccurring or repetitive review of information or data. Secretarial and other office clerical work may be assigned but should not be the primary emphasis of the position. Positions in this class typically act as the principal assistant to the manager(s) regarding administrative matters, and help relieve them of administrative detail. Work is performed with considerable independence and is reviewed upon completion for adherence to instructions, plans and standards.
The Management Assistant series is distinguished from the Administrative Assistant series due to the ability to simultaneously provide administrative services to more than one manager. Positions providing administrative services to more than one manager on a temporary or short-term basis shall not be included in this class (e.g. vacation/sick day coverage).
The organizational level of the manager(s) providing assignment is irrelevant to positions in this class, whereas positions in the Administrative Assistant series, by definition, are classified according to the organizational level of the manager they report to.

Five (5) years of professional experience performing complex administrative support work which must have included the interpretation, verification and/or application of department/agency rules, regulations, policies and procedures.
OR
Possession of a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university; and one (1) year of the above-mentioned professional experience.
