Under the overall direction of the Deputy Executive Officer of Internal Operations (CEA B) and the immediate direction of the Staff Service Manager II, the Staff Services Manager I (SSM I) exercises a high degree of initiative and is responsible for directing and managing the daily operations of AAU to provide support to the Executive team as well as directing AAU staff responsible for managing EO contracts, overseeing EO's budget, and preparing personnel actions including EO recruitments.
