STARTING SALARY: $49,088.00
SALARY RANGE: $49,088.00 - $66,081.60
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Associate I is part of a
four-year management training program providing a career-development opportunity
while allowing individuals to develop and strengthen professional skills.
This program will provide municipal financial experience and valuable
professional development. The OMB Associate I classification will be
trained to perform progressively responsible work in the preparation and
administration of the City’s annual operating budget, five-year Capital
Improvement Budget, and multi-year revenue/expenditure projection.
Training will also include exposure to strategic and operational planning, and
assisting with departmental process review.
This
class will receive direction and assignments from the OMB Director or senior
budget staff. Work will initially be performed under close supervision as
training and development are being provided; however, as the employee’s
competence increases, work will be performed more independently and reviewed
upon completion. Progression from an OMB Associate I to an OMB Associate
II can be accomplished through a non-competitive criteria-based promotional process.
The incumbent must meet established work standards, demonstrate the level of
competency necessary to independently perform assigned tasks, and meet the
minimum qualifications of the OMB Associate II classification. This class
is FLSA exempt-professional.
