Director gets traitors in mad confusion (13)
I believe the answer is:
administrator
'director' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'traitors in mad confusion' is the wordplay.
'confusion' indicates an anagram.
'traitors'+'in'+'mad'='traitorsinmad'
'traitorsinmad' anagrammed gives 'ADMINISTRATOR'.
'gets' is the link.
(Other definitions for administrator that I've seen before include "one controls" , "One who manages or directs" , "I'll manage" , "Runner" , "One who manages an organisation" .)
