Manager II, SFUSD (#0992)

$0.00-$0.00 Hourly / $0.00-$0.00 Monthly / $0.00-$0.00 Yearly


Definition

Under administrative direction, incumbents in this class provide mid-level management functions in the San Francisco Unified School District with responsibility for a section, program or defined functional area and may assume responsibility for one or more section(s) or operational area(s) or operationally-related services.

Incumbents in these positions make decisions which impact the daily operations and implementation of established procedures and policies of the related units/sections and solve problems requiring analyses of issues that may result in deviations from routine processes, new technology and/or additional resources.  These Managers typically contact and/or establish working relationships with others at similar levels within the organization and coordinate budget preparation, monitoring of expenditures and financial reporting for the assigned section.

Distinguishing Features

Distinctions between class levels in the management series are based on the program’s complexity, sensitivity and/or size, organizational impact, the nature and number of functions/programs managed, decision-making responsibility, level of supervision exercised, nature of positions supervised, and the nature and scope of duties assumed such as hand-on work versus planning and policy development activities.

Incumbents in this class assume responsibility for one or more large section(s) or functional areas and provide complex leadership over diverse programs or services.  Inappropriate decisions at this level would impact the economic vitality, health, or welfare of a large segment of the District population. 

This class is distinguished from the SFUSD Manager I by the former’s responsibility for multiple sections providing complex, related functions or services. Inappropriate decisions at the SFUSD Manager II level would impact the economic vitality, health, or welfare of a segment of the District population.

This class is further distinguished from the SFUSD Director by the latter’s responsibility for divisions which provide routine programs and services within a broad functional area.  Incumbents in these positions make decisions which typically involve program planning and directing, as well as, organizing new and future resource needs.  These decisions directly impact the effective functioning of the division and incumbents develop policies and/or procedures affecting the District infrastructure or the provision and delivery of public services.  Inappropriate decisions would negatively affect the health and welfare of a segment of the population or the economic vitality of a segment of District community. 

Supervision Exercised
