Alaska Legislative Ethics Committee Administrator
Alaska Legislative Ethics Committee Administrator
Job Location: Anchorage
Salary: $3,169.50 to $3,753.75 bi-weekly
The Administrator serves at the pleasure of the Select Committee on Legislative Ethics, a nine-member committee composed of five public members and four legislative members. The Administrator receives general direction from the chair of the Ethics Committee and performs administrative work including budgeting, accounting, supervising staff, and managing the Ethics Office.
The ethics component of the job requires analysis and judgment to examine many factors related to a fact-specific scenario, application of a substantial body of knowledge of statutes, rules of procedure and at times other procedures in the area of law and legal principles, interpretation of conflicting statutes, review of previous advice and opinions, evaluation of various potential courses of action, and finally selecting a course of action based on the above review. The complexity of the work is characterized by frequently dealing with issues that lack clearly applicable precedent, are not adequately addressed in established procedures, and often involve conflicting state laws.
Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree required; preferably in a liberal arts, law, or public administration-related discipline. Minimum of three years of professional work experience providing administrative support to a government agency/commission/committee or an organization. The Administrator must be able to travel within the state by plane as needed to conduct training and attend meetings. Background check required. Preference given to Alaska residents.
Additional Information:
Provide a one-to-two page cover letter explicitly summarizing your knowledge, skills, abilities, experience, and strengths as they directly apply to the position. Provide three current professional/work-related references and three 3-5 page writing samples, preferably one of which analyzes facts or law and recommends a course of action.
