Under general supervision, assists management by providing a wide variety of administrative support services; conducts complex and difficult research and analytical studies involving budgetary and/or operational processes and programs; makes recommendations for the development, implementation, and improvement of departmental operations, services and programs, and/or budgetary expenditures; and performs other related duties as required.

The Administrative Services Analyst II is the fully qualified, journey level classification in the Administrative Services Analyst series and reports to a supervisory or manager level position. This classification is characterized by the responsibility for performing a wide variety of administrative services including fiscal operations, budget preparation and control, purchasing, contract administration and monitoring, work space flow and space utilization, staffing, general administration and independently conducting complex and difficult research and analytical studies within supervisory assigned parameters. This classification provides management with the expertise required to identify, evaluate, and make recommendations to resolve a variety of complex organizational and administrative problems, including recommending changes in policies and procedures and developing methods for implementation. The Administrative Services Analyst II may provide technical supervision to a clerical or technical support staff; however, analytical problem solving is the primary component of this classification.

The Administrative Services Analyst II is distinguished from the Administrative Services Supervisor by the latter's responsibility for projecting, justifying, recommending, and implementing solutions to a variety of complex problems with limited direction and review from management. The Administrative Services Analyst II is further distinguished from the Administrative Services Officer by the latter's responsibility for planning, organizing and managing administrative services activities in departments requiring a full-time, stand-alone administrative division to complete its mission.

The Administrative Services Analyst II is not a natural progression underfill to the Administrative Services Supervisor or the Administrative Services Officer.
