The Port of Long Beach said Monday it has launched a nationwide search to fill its deputy executive director post, which has been vacant since its former occupant, Christopher Lytle was promoted to executive director in January.
The Southern California port said it’s seeking “a strong and experienced senior-level executive” to support the executive director in the planning, organizing, directing and managing day-to-day operations at the nation’s second biggest seaport.
The deputy executive director essentially functions as chief operating officer, overseeing the port’s four main bureaus: engineering, environmental affairs and planning, finance and support services, and trade development and port operations.
Alliance Resource Consulting will conduct the search. The deadline to apply is July 20.
