Transmit radio that has been scrambled for director of operations (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

administrator

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'director of operations' is the definition.
'administrator' can be an answer for 'director' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'of operations' bit.

'transmit radio that has been scrambled' is the wordplay.
'that has been scrambled' indicates anagramming the letters (mixed up).
'transmit'+'radio'='transmitradio'
'transmitradio' with letters rearranged gives 'ADMINISTRATOR'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for administrator that I've seen before include "One who manages an organisation" , "one controls" , "One who manages or directs" , "One managing business affairs" , "Business organiser" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
