Who We Are
The San Francisco Employees’ Retirement System (SFERS) is dedicated to securing, protecting, and prudently investing the pension trust assets, administering mandated benefits programs, and providing promised benefits to the active and retired members of the City and County of San Francisco.
Established in 1889 as a fund for families and orphans of firefighters and police officers, today the San Francisco Employees’ Retirement System serves more than 78,000 active, vested, and retired employees of the City and County of San Francisco and their survivors.
What We Do
The Retirement Services Division plays a crucial role in administering retirement benefits for both active and retired employees as well as their beneficiaries. Staff provide comprehensive retirement counseling services to guide individuals through their retirement planning journey and process various benefit applications, including service and disability retirements, survivor benefits, vesting allowances, refunds, reciprocity, and the purchase of service credit. The Retirement Services Division also manages the disbursement of approximately $150 million in monthly benefit payments to around 32,100 retirees and beneficiaries, ensuring timely and accurate payments.
Specific information regarding this recruitment process is listed below:
This is a Class-Based Test conducted in accordance with CSC Rule 111A.
This job announcement will not close before March 11, 2025. Interested applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
What We’re Looking For
Under general supervision, the Retirement Analyst performs professional benefits work for the San Francisco City and County Employees' Retirement System and performs related duties as required. The Retirement Analyst computes and verifies the computation of employees' retirement and death benefits; assists in establishing procedures relative to payment of retirement benefits; and monitors and conducts the research and analysis of retirement records to determine benefits payable.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES
This is the entrance level classification in the Retirement Analyst series. However, employees are not hired as trainees. Positions in this job code are distinguished from positions in the next higher job code of 1813 Senior Benefits Analyst in that the latter has supervisory responsibility for a staff of professional and clerical personnel in addition to performing highly technical and complex retirement benefit calculations.
SUPERVISION EXERCISED
None. Employees in this class may give instructions to benefits technicians or clerical staff in the course of performing analysis of benefits programs but they do not have full supervisory responsibility for staff.
EXAMPLES OF IMPORTANT AND ESSENTIAL DUTIES
Education :
Possession of a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university, preferably in economics, finance, accounting, statistics, business administration, human resources, psychology, sociology, public administration or a related field.
