Working at both strategic and operational levels, the Director will take ownership of how operations is structured and delivered. This is a hands-on mandate requiring a leader prepared to work alongside the team, understand the operational detail, and drive solutions through implementation. They will strengthen service coordination and workforce deployment, advance the use of technology and data, and build the team and organizational capabilities required to support increasing scale and complexity.
