Post title

Dear all,

Is there a job title name that would have the authority of dealing with management and attending meetings and meeting with other senior members during my absence, but not have the authority of my department staff members?

Basically, I am a director of a department, I would like to promote a staff member to a deputy director position or any similar name, which enable him to arrange events, meet with management during my absence...etc . However, the position will not have the authority of my department staff members. what this can be named?

 

In politics, the role would be considered to be a "Chief of Staff" to the executive. That person is more of a coordinator and advisor to the executive with little actual authority other than as the gatekeeper for and representative of the executive. "Department Administrator" might be an option for a business.

 

Maybe Cheif of Staff or Director of Staff or General Staff Manager would be the most appropriate job title for your needs.
