Job description

IT Analyst 1: $54.065-$65.722 hourly

DEFINITION

Under general supervision (Information Technology Analyst I) or direction from the Information Technology Supervisor or Information Technology Manager, performs a variety of professional information technology duties in the areas of desktop support, enterprise network and cybersecurity operations, or Geographic Information Systems (GIS); prepares program documentation for new applications and writes operating procedures; assists with end user training and provides technical assistance; and performs related work as required.

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

Information Technology Analyst I is the entry-level class in the professional Information Technology Analyst series. Under close to general supervision, within a framework of established policies and procedures, incumbents learn and perform less complex and specialized information technology tasks related to area of assignment. As experience and proficiency are gained, assignments become more varied and complex and the level of independent action increases within established guidelines. Assignments are given in specific to general terms and are subject to frequent review by the Information Technology Supervisor while in progress and upon completion, except where tasks are well defined by established standards, policies, and procedures. There is limited latitude for independent judgment and action in well-defined areas of work.

This classification is distinguished from the experienced, journey-level Information Technology Analyst II class by the routine nature and limited complexity of work assignments and the level of supervision received. The Information Technology Analyst I and II classifications are flexibly staffed. Upon recommendation of the immediate supervisor and approval by the department manager, incumbents in this class may advance to the Information Technology Analyst II after a minimum of two (2) years at the first level and with demonstrated proficiency to meet the job requirements of the Information Technology Analyst II classification.

The Ideal Candidate will:
Be a collaborative and supportive team player who can also effectively work independently; and
Demonstrate initiative and be a self-starter, with strong desktop support skills in a cloud based, mobile environment and a proactive approach to addressing issues and finding creative solutions.
Demonstrate ability to lead and provide direction to others when implementing new technology district-wide.
