The position of regional operations director is mostly seen in large multinational organizations. This individual is responsible for the operations in a given region. A region could refer to a few states within a country, an entire country, or a continent.
Even though this job sounds tedious, it may not necessarily be. Each of the organization's branches has managers that run the daily operations. The regional director of operations only acts in a supervisory capacity. This would include supervising performance, rewarding success, and investigating branches with substandard performance.
A regional operations director needs remarkable leadership skills to manage these numerous subordinates. They also have excellent time management skills, as the job may require regular visits to various branches across different regions.
To become a regional operations manager, you'll need advanced degrees like an MBA or masters in your chosen specialty. You'll also need 8+ years of job experience.
