Administration Director
Administration directors run the day-to-day operations of organisations - everything from managing office staff and budgets to making sure things run smoothly. They work with senior leaders to make sure the organisation can do its job well.
AI helps here, but has not taken over
AI can already do some of this job, but the day-to-day work still leans on a person to decide, check and take responsibility. Nothing formally protects this job though, so the safest move is to keep building the judgement AI cannot yet copy.
