As of June 2016, I have been working as a Management Associate under the Office of Management and Budget Director. The Management Associate program is a 4-year program designed to provide young professionals valuable work experience within a Municipal government and City Management. Starting off working out of the Management and Budget Office for the first 1-2 years allows for Management Associates to experience a full budget cycle, gain an understanding of how department budgets are developed, strengthen their grasp on revenue generators and are given the opportunity to offer input and new ideas from their own professional work experience. As a Management Associate I spend 50% of my time on budget related tasks, while spending the other 50% managing special projects for various departments throughout the city. Some of the projects include contingency plans, process improvement efforts, staffing models, and costing out departmental decisions.
