What the Management and Operations Analyst family covers
Management and Operations Analyst is a graded series in the New Jersey civil service classification plan, running 4 title codes across 3 levels. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.
Analyst and planner titles are where New Jersey puts the work of deciding rather than delivering: land use, capital programming, rate setting, program evaluation and policy research. Many exist at the local level because municipal and county planning boards were early adopters of civil service, so the family may hold only local codes even when the same work happens at the state under a different name. The qualification pattern is consistent, a bachelor's degree at entry with experience substituting upward, and the ladders are usually clean numbered progressions.
The ladder, ordered by pay
Ordered by what they actually pay rather than by the number in the title, the Management and Operations Analyst rungs look like this. Note that the numbers in these titles do not run in pay order. In this family a lower number sits higher on the ladder, which is a New Jersey convention that catches people out when they read a title list top to bottom.

The family is split across 2 salary schedules (A-P-R-S and V-W-Y), so two titles that look adjacent can be paid from different tables with different step structures. Bargaining is handled by CWA. Union contracts and rights are collected here.
