Senior Administrative Assistant

Senior Administrative Assistant

Under direction from the assigned administrator or manager of a highly complex, multi-function division of large size, staff, and budget, such as a Dean or Director, performs the full range of administrative, secretarial, and clerical assistance in support of an assigned complex program in a large business, instructional, or student services division; or serves as secondary administrative support for a larger office, such as a Vice President's office or the President's office.

This classification is distinguished from other levels of the Administrative Assistant series in that the Senior Administrative Assistant is the experienced, journey-level classification of the series. Incumbents are assigned to perform the full range of complex administrative support, secretarial, and clerical duties independently for a large/complex business, instructional, or student services program. Incumbents at this level typically receive instruction or assistance only as new or unusual situations arise and must be fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.

The following duties are typical for this classification. Incumbents may not perform all of the listed duties and/or may be required to perform additional or different duties from those set forth below to address business needs and changing business practices.
