In this capacity, the individual contributes to the development of division-wide strategies and priorities to continuously improve the culture and productivity of the division, further the professional development of staff and leaders, align resources and reduce friction points, facilitate the flow of information, and enhance employee engagement and communications. The assistant director oversees, guides, and directs the Operations and Resource Management section and the Front Office section in a manner that allows the teams to leverage their expertise and synergies that supports the division’s goals and strategic priorities. This officer must be able to take a broad view of division needs and how they interact.
