Overview

Under general supervision, is responsible for professional budget analytic work of average difficulty; and performs related work as required. This is the working class in the Budget Analytic sub-series. An employee in this class assists in the development and administration of a departmental budget. Characteristically, an employee is part of a central operating department budget unit. In smaller departments where there may be sufficient work to sustain a position dedicated solely to budget analysis and a higher-level person retains the overall budget analytic responsibility, the employee may act as budget officer.

This class is flexibly staffed with and differs from that of Analyst 1, assigned to the budget function, in that an incumbent of the latter functions in an entry or learning capacity. This class differs from that of Budget Analyst Coordinator, in that an incumbent of the latter performs work of greater scope and complexity and would normally act as supervisor to an employee in this class. This class differs from other analytic classes at the working level in the focus of work upon a relatively pure assignment in budget analysis.
