They should consider

The scope and dimension of the role – the responsibility for

• People
• Resources
• Technology
• Budgets

Lines of reporting / accountability – i.e. how the person will manage and be managed
setting objectives for the achievement of goals and targets how the function has changed or may change in future

They need to understand the current and potential demands of the role future organisational plans
