ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
Second in a division or office, standing in for the director and holding a defined share of the portfolio. Nothing in the title says which share, because it turns on the division and often on the individual.
The position acts for the appointing authority, which is what keeps it out of the classified service. Treat it carefully in any cross-agency comparison for the same reason it has no specification: it is not one job.
