THE COUNTY:
Established in 1853, Alameda County has a population of over 1.6 million residents making it the second largest county in the Bay Area and the seventh largest in the State. The County encompasses 14 cities including Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Dublin, Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Newark, Oakland, Piedmont, Pleasanton, San Leandro, and Union City as well as six unincorporated communities and rural areas that span a total of 738 square miles.
Alameda County employs approximately 9,000 employees working in 21 different agencies and departments and has an annual budget of over $3 billion. As a major urban County, Alameda delivers a full spectrum of services, including general government and internal services, health care, social services, public works, criminal justice, and other public safety services for its community.
The County celebrates the rich diversity of its workforce, which in large measure, reflects the cultural and ethnic diversity of the community it serves. The County’s mission is to enrich the lives of its residents through visionary policies and accessible, responsive, and effective services. Its vision is to be recognized as one of the best counties in which to live, work, and do business.
THE POSITION:
Under general direction, to provide supervision for financial and administrative services and operational support functions in County departments or agencies; to provide complex professional-level services in the areas of budget development and processing, contract negotiation and administration and grants management; to facilitate the implementation of a variety of programs and projects; and to do related work as required.
In addition to the provision of complex budget, contract, grant, and financial services, responsibilities of this class emphasize the line supervision of large clerical or technical support staff through subordinate supervisors. Assignments, particularly the operational supervisory roles, vary widely, but all positions are found in departments with multiple budgets and funding sources and/or extensive contracts with various service providers or community-based organizations. This class differs from Financial Services Officer, which has full management responsibility for financial services for an agency or department, and, in addition, typically supervises a staff of professional and/or paraprofessional employees.
