Interpersonal contacts are varied and often at the higher level and tend to involve a broad range of problem solving activities. Positions in this classification may coordinate the office support for an entire academic, special program or administrative office or for an administrative head to one of these offices. Assignments and projects are varied and complex with longer work cycles. Projects often involve coordinating, prioritizing, and monitoring administrative support projects through their completion with accountability for end results and work performed by others.

Regularly sets own priorities and often those of other support staff. Coordinates and executes large scale, complex projects with broad, visible impact and involving coordination with other departments. Incumbents are often individual contributors, though the full scope of their duties may include providing lead work direction to others in the organizational unit. Unlike the administrative support series, positions in the first levels of this classification are not primarily responsible for leading or coordinating the clerical operations or support function for an organizational unit. In contrast, they are directly responsible for or participate in program administration or perform specialized or general duties related to the overall administrative operations of an organizational unit.
