What the Deputy Division Director family covers
Deputy Division Director works as an umbrella classification: 1 different specialization share the title across 2 codes. 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.
