About the position

The Prince George's County Government is seeking a qualified candidate for the position of Budget Management Analyst III within the Health and Wellness Division of the Department of Health. This role is a senior-level professional and administrative position that involves comprehensive budgetary development and management analysis projects. The incumbent will be responsible for performing complex budgetary functions and may lead a team while providing technical guidance and training to subordinate Budget Management Analysts or Budget Aides. The position requires significant interaction with other employees and supervisors in the Office of Management and Budget, as well as Budget Management Liaisons within assigned Departments and Agencies. The primary purpose of these interactions is to advise, persuade, and negotiate on issues that significantly impact operating and capital budget formulation and decision-making, as well as other matters with political, legal, fiscal, social, environmental, tax rate, and service delivery implications. The Budget Management Analyst III will work under the general direction of a Budget Management Analyst IV or higher, who will define objectives, priorities, and deadlines for assignments. The incumbent will plan and execute work steps with minimal assistance, selecting appropriate methods and procedures to complete tasks. The work is characterized by tight deadlines, coordination with various stakeholders, and the application of writing, public speaking, and time management skills. The complexity of the role is further enhanced by the use of sophisticated computer programs and systems to facilitate work completion. The impact of the work performed is significant, as it involves careful analysis and recommendations on complex issues that affect other governmental units through decisions made by executive-level management. The incumbent is expected to exercise sound judgment in identifying and selecting issues, evaluating alternatives, and recommending options. The work environment is a comfortable office setting, and while the role primarily involves sitting and using computer terminals, it may also require brief periods of walking, standing, and carrying materials. The position may require considerable overtime during certain periods of the year, reflecting the demands of the budgetary process.
