DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES

JOB CODE TITLE: MANAGER V JOB CODE: 0933

Business Unit: COMMN

Definition:

Under general administrative direction, incumbents in this class function as senior managers operating within a broad policy framework and typically manage a division of a medium/large department. Incumbents assume sole responsibility for a functional area(s) of service; coordinate and implement program planning; and define organizational structure, staffing requirements, resource allocation and identification of future resource needs. Incumbents interface with all managerial levels of city/county government and outside agencies, and serve as representatives of the division or department in meetings involving administrative systems, policies or procedures; and perform related duties as required.

Distinguishing Features:

Distinctions between class levels in the management series are based on the program's complexity, sensitivity and/or size, organizational impact, the nature and number of functions/programs managed, decision-making responsibility, level of supervision exercised, nature of positions supervised, and the nature and scope of duties assumed such as hand-on work rather than planning and policy development activities.

Incumbents in this class typically assume responsibility for divisions of medium/large size performing technically complex functions which are organized into multiple or diverse sections and/or units.

The Manager V class is distinguished from the Manager IV class by the latter's division-wide responsibility for multiple functional program areas or complex program areas.

Decisions made by incumbents affect multiple divisions and impact the economic vitality of city government or the health and welfare of a segment of the public.
