The role of operations director can vary according to the size of a company, and at some companies many even encompass some or all the functions of a
chief operating officer. The
Institute of Directors of the United Kingdom defines the role as overseeing "all operational aspects of company strategy" and "responsible for the flow of operations information to the chief executive, the board and, where necessary, external parties such as investors or financial institutions". The United Kingdom arm of
recruitment agency Monster.com suggests a typical definition of the role is "Directs and coordinates the internal structure of an organisation based on company policies, goals, and objectives to ensure an efficient working environment and that deadlines are met consistently.". ==See also==
