Preferred Qualifications: Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and Adobe Acrobat; experience entering and managing data in spreadsheets with a high degree of accuracy; ability to multitask and deal with shifting priorities; and excellent organizational, time management, and communication skills.

Duties Description The Secretary 1 will be assigned to the Office of Forensic Services and will provide administrative and secretarial support to the Director, as well as all other office staff in the day-to-day operations of the unit managing the administrative operations of the NYS DNA Databank and the NYS public forensic laboratory accreditation program.

The incumbent will manage day-to-day scheduling for the Director and office staff. Furthermore, the incumbent will coordinate logistics for a wide range of meetings, trainings, and board meetings which are conducted year-round by OFS throughout the State. This includes securing venues, approving travel plans, and processing a high volume of travel vouchers in accordance with State and Agency guidelines.

The Secretary 1 will also be primarily responsible for receiving, tracking, and routing all incoming as well as outgoing correspondence, which may be via postal mail, inter-agency mail, fax, telephone, and email.
