The Small Business Association (2013) produces a guide to help entrepreneurs understand the elements of effective job descriptions. The first is to simply define the job in terms of its title and level. Then the broad function and scope of the position need to be understood.

Job Analysis and Job Descriptions in Recruitment and Selection
Job analysis and description is a specific approach used by modern business organizations to identify and attract the most suitable employment candidates for positions (Kinicki & Williams, 2005; Scott, Reynolds, & Church, 2010). However, it also comprises much broader functions that are conducive to organizational success and growth. Specifically, the job analysis and description process allows business (and other employing) organizations to maximize employee satisfaction, minimize employee turnover, optimize training systems, and to reduce the costs associated with all of those elements collectively. Generally, contemporary job analysis and description methods include direct observation, work methods analysis and microanalysis (particularly in connection with industrial and repetitive processes), critical incident technique (CIT), interviews and questionnaires, and analysis if specific vocational competencies (Kinicki & Williams, 2005; Scott, Reynolds, & Church, 2010).

Upper-level managers may have to have a MBA, depending upon the nature of the organization. And some may have more unconventional majors and backgrounds, although business education of some sort is required.
