What is it like working as a Director of Operations?

January 2014
How Poor The Company Performed Before My Arrival.
Director of Operations:
Check that the incumbent staff understand any data you ask for to evaluate the position. Don't ask for the obvious data-set, tell them what you want to know ans ask them to provide information which will give you the understanding you need to make an assessment as to whether the job is viable/worth doing.
At senior level, you are interviewing the company probably more than they you. Make sure that you are not only prepared to respond to the interview panel but moreover that you have your queries answered and satisfy yourself you are not being "sold a pup"!

The amount of time needed to accomplish administrative tasks

More for experience
Director of Operations:
Pros: I find my job extremely helpful for learning business operation.
I am basically a director in Canada where the owner lives in US.
So, I do every operation which somebody can't experience easily.

I am not particularly serious about pay, since I do get some special experience of running a business like my own.
