ABOUT THE POSITION
The County of Riverside's Executive Office has a vacancy for a Principal Management Analyst. The Principal Management Analyst will track Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) at a County-wide level and will be the Executive Office (EO) representative for tracking CIP requests, monitoring approved CIP's (both on progress and budget), and liaison between departments and the EO management staff.
The incumbent will work closely with the Facilities Management department in the preparation of the CIP schedule for the budget book, and will assist the budget team with quarterly reports, year-end reports, as well as assisting with the development of the strategic financial plan for the County. Additionally, the position may provide complex analysis for different aspects of the budget, and he/she will participate in the review and compilation of the County's $7 billion dollar budget.
The Principal Management Analyst position is the highest level in the Management Analyst series, a job series exclusively used in the Executive Office of the County. Incumbents at this level are responsible for directing the business of the County, including the review of department/agency programs and budgets; the administration of capital financing projects, and the planning and construction of County buildings.
Incumbents manage functions or programs such as grant writing, contract management, policy determination, internal audits, and trust fund management. Incumbents supervise both professional and technical level financial support staff and typically report to a Deputy Chief Executive Officer or equivalent.
This position is distinguished from the Senior Management Analyst position in that the latter is not assigned full responsibility for capital project oversights and does not have the same level and scope of responsibility.
