Article required?

Hi all.

Do we need an article for the sentence below? (after as)

In his position as managing director, he is responsible for more than 300 employees.

or 

In his position as a/the managing director, he is responsible for more than 300 employees.

Thanks

The article is optional. I think most people would omit it in your example.

No, not really, though you can put one there. We don't usually use an article before nouns that indicate a role.
