      The
      Operations
      Man-
     
     
      ager
      will
      primarily
      be
      respon-
     
     
      sible
      for
      management
      of
      the

      and
      any
      other
      duties
     
     
      as
      required.
     
    

    
     
      “That
      person
      will
      be
     
     
      looking
      after
      the

      says
     
     
      Pauline
      Tran,
      Vice
      President
     
     
      Internal.
      “There
      will
      be
      no
     
     
      need

      a

      manager.
      The
     
     
      Operations
      manager

      insists
      that
      hiring
     
     
      an
      Operations
      Manager
      is
      in
     
     
      the
      best

      this
      is
      often

      difficult

      it’s

      dis-
     
     
      regarded
      it.
      Each
      PIN
