What the Deputy Director family covers
In New Jersey's classification plan, Deputy Director stands alone. The family holds one title code rather than a graded series. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.
The generic rank families are the hardest part of the classification plan to read, because the title deliberately says nothing about the subject matter. A single code can cover the head of one bureau and the head of a completely unrelated one, which is exactly why cross-agency salary comparison breaks down in this group and why the site flags several of these titles as generic. Most sit in the managerial or unclassified service, meaning individually set salaries, appointment at the employer's discretion, and no eligible list to wait on.

Getting in: the stated requirements
Across the 1 title we have parsed, the education requirements read as a bachelor's degree on 1 of them. Experience requirements sit at 10 years wherever they are stated.
On how the jobs are filled: 1 is unclassified, which means appointment at the employer's discretion and salary set individually.
How the pay is set
No state salary schedule applies here, because these are local titles. Pay is set by each adopting county, municipality or authority under its own ordinance or negotiated agreement, so two employers using the same title code can pay very differently. How local civil service pay works.
Where these jobs exist
Hiring for this family runs through state service. Departments, commissions and boards fill these titles from eligible lists built by the Civil Service Commission, so the route in is an announcement and a filing deadline rather than a posting you apply to directly.
