Deputy Manager

Assisting The Manager

• One of the primary roles of a deputy manager is to assist the general manager in preparing a budget and allocating funds to all departments. An assistant manager also works closely with departmental supervisors to plan and execute projects, and to monitor systems and technology.He also implements business strategies and procedures, manages the organization's resources and draws up staff schedules.

Managing The Organization

• If the general manager is absent, the deputy manager takes over his daily duties. Some of these management duties include supervising employees, attending meetings, motivating employees to improve productivity, formulating strategic plans, communicating with external stakeholders, managing the company finances and ensuring that all of the systems in the company are running smoothly.

Preparing Reports

• A deputy manager receives reports from all departmental heads and hands them over to the general manager. He uses this information to prepare the company’s quarterly, biannual and annual reports, which he hands over to the GM and the members of the board. These reports, presented during annual general meetings with shareholders, show the progress an organization has made toward achieving its goals and mission.
