Hi Jaya,

Zoo directors lead the management team in overseeing zoo operations including animal and personnel management, facility maintenance, and development.
Duties
Zoo directors are responsible for supervising all aspects of zoo management. Areas of focus usually include managing park operations, creating budgets, implementing policies, hiring management staff, sourcing additional funding, and overseeing development of the facility.
A director also usually acts as the chief spokesperson for the zoo in media relations.
Zoo directors collaborate with departmental directors and curators, who in turn supervise the other zoo staffers such as keepers, educators, veterinarians, support staff, and volunteers. Directors are responsible for ensuring that all day to day operations run smoothly and that animals are cared for in accordance with all applicable regulations.
Zoo directors tend to work regular hours as this is an administrative and managerial role, but they must also be available to deal with any emergency situations as they arise. Some evening and weekend hours may be necessary depending on the zoo’s schedule and to accommodate special events.

Most of the subjects are based on - Biology, Zoology, Botany, Geography. However Management Skills are also required to reach a Director Grade.
