: Your context (and Taña reference too) refers to usage with an addressee. Gabriela's usage is with a signatory; I have my doubts about c/o here.

Head/Director
"Head of Directorate..." / "Head, Directorate...", or "Director of Directorate..." / "Director, Directorate..."
If the person is not the post-holder but is acting with the same authority in the absence of the post-holder (say, because of medical leave), then "Acting Head of Directorate...", or "Acting Director of Directorate..."
"Head" is more generic.
