Based on gaining in-depth knowledge of the Rotman School’s complex operations, goals, policies, protocols and mandate in its entirety, the Director assesses and resolves issues, or directs/re-directs, as appropriate, prior to issues being directed to the Dean.

In addition, the Director will have managerial oversight of the Manager, Academic Administrative Services who oversees the administrative staff supporting the Academic Areas and Centres and Institutes.
