Job Description:

System Release Manager - Business Technology

Description

Description

Under general direction the System Release Manager for Business Technology plans, coordinates and delivers software enhancements, patches, and system updates for the Ventura County Financial Management System (VCFMS). This position serves as the hub between system administration, programming, reporting, training, user groups, and the software vendor to ensure the new features are properly evaluated, tested, documented, and successfully deployed.

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

This classification typically reports to agency or department management. Assignments are made at the I or II level depending on the relative complexity of the service operation or other work performed, and the impact on other County agencies and departments. Incumbents at the higher level are expected to demonstrate greater initiative, self-direction and independent judgment.

This series differs from the Staff/Services Manager series in that the latter manages a relatively large section/division or provides staff assistance typically to Deputy Directors or Directors. This series also differs from the Administrative Officer series in that the latter primarily deals with agency/department budgets, fiscal or personnel matters and generally reports to a Deputy Director or Director.

In addition, the Staff Services Specialist I/II differs from the Program Administrator series in that the latter works within or manages a specific "stand-alone" program within a department or agency and, generally is not involved in line operations supervision or management.

Note to Applicants: Sufficient information must be provided under the Education/Work experience portion of the application and supplemental questionnaire to thoroughly and accurately demonstrate your qualifications to determine eligibility. A resume may be attached to supplement your responses in the above referenced sections; however, it may not be substituted in lieu of the application.

SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE - qualifying All applicants are required to complete and submit the questionnaire for this examination at the time of filing. The supplemental questionnaire may be used throughout the examination process to assist in determining each applicant's qualifications and acceptability for the position. Failure to complete and submit the questionnaire may result in the application being removed from further consideration. It is highly recommended that the supplemental questions within the application are completed with care and diligence. Responses such as "See Resume" or "Refer to Resume' are not acceptable and may disqualify an applicant from further evaluation.

APPLICATION EVALUATION - qualifying All applications will be reviewed to determine whether the stated requirements are met. Applicants meeting the stated requirements will be invited to continue to the next step in the recruitment process.

TRAINING & EXPERIENCE EVALUATION:
A Training and Experience Evaluation (T&E) is a structured evaluation of the job application materials submitted by a candidate, including the written responses to the supplemental questionnaire. The T&E is NOT a determination of whether the candidate meets the stated requirements; rather, the T&E is one method for determining who are the better qualified among those who have shown that they meet the stated requirements. In a T&E, applications are either scored or rank ordered according to criteria that most closely meet the business needs of the department. Candidates are typically scored/ranked in relation to one another; consequently, when the pool of candidates is exceptionally strong, many qualified candidates may receive a score or rank which is moderate or even low resulting in them not being advanced in the process.

NOTE: The selection process will likely consist of an Oral Exam, which may be preceded or replaced with the score from a Training and Experience Evaluation (T&E), contingent upon the size and quality of the candidate pool. In a typical T&E, your training and experience are evaluated in relation to the background, experience and factors identified for successful job performance during a job analysis. For this reason, it is recommended that your application materials clearly show your relevant background and specialized knowledge, skills, and abilities. If the T&E replaces the oral exam, candidates must earn a score of seventy percent (70%) or higher to qualify for placement on the eligible list.

ORAL EXAMINATION - 100%: A job-related oral examination may be conducted to evaluate and compare participating applicants' knowledge, skills, and abilities in relation to those factors which job analysis has determined to be essential for successful performance of the job. Applicants must earn a score of seventy percent (70%) or higher to qualify for placement on the eligible list.
If there are three (3) or fewer qualified applicants, an examination will not be conducted. Instead, a score of seventy percent (70%) will be assigned to each application, and each applicant will be placed on the eligible list.

ELIGIBLE LIST

Candidates successfully completing the examination process may be placed on an eligible list for a period of one (1) year.
The eligible list established from this recruitment may be used to fill current and future Regular, (including Temporary and Fixed-Term), Intermittent, and Extra Help vacancies for this and similar vacancies within the Auditor-Controller. There is currently one (1) Regular, Full-Time vacancy within the Auditor-Controller's Office.

BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION: A thorough pre-employment, post offer background investigation which may include inquiry into past employment, education, criminal background information, and driving record may be required for this position.
