The PC 2 is an authority and leader internally and externally in a broad area of specialization or narrow but intensely specialized field.
Work involves major policy issues that cross agency and program area lines.
The PC 2 represents the agency in those areas and has the authority to speak as the administrator in those areas. The PC 2 integrates these program areas or system issues across fundamental programs and agency lines on a policy determination level with authority and responsibility beyond that of specific related professional series. This is the second of a three-level series. Independent decision making authority, and the increased responsibility for programmatic decisions upon which statewide policy are established distinguish it from the lower levels. Assignments regularly cross agency lines within the Executive Branch of government and often interface with other branches of government, other public and private jurisdictions, businesses, advocacy or special interest groups.
