Association chief executive Mike Coggan was unavailable for comment last night but the Otago Daily Times understands the proposed restructure would combine the roles of marketing and events manager and commercial manger.
Former Otago captain Craig Cumming is the commercial manager, while Andy McLean is the marketing and events manager and has worked at Otago cricket for about 10 years.
It is understood the network coaching role held by Mark Bracewell may also be re-configured.
The role may be upgraded and the successful applicant become responsible for overseeing the coaching from the elite level down.
It is believed the position of business manager, held by Leigh Duncan, is to be disestablished.
If the restructure goes ahead, it would be a major reshuffle for the association.
Former chief executive Ross Dykes made some tweaks when he assumed the role 11 years ago.
He retired at the end of last season and was replaced by Coggan, who has had to make some tough calls since assuming the role.
In February, after consultation with New Zealand Cricket and the board of Otago Cricket, the project to light up the University Oval was put on hold indefinitely.
Spiralling costs and the inability to host day-night tests made the project unfeasible.
The association decided to focus on the $750,000 upgrade of the embankments instead and assigned $100,000 of its cash reserves to the project.
The upgrade is needed to lift the capacity of the venue from 3500 to meet New Zealand Cricket's minimum requirement for international grounds of 6000.
Coggan has previously said he was not concerned committing $100,000 would jeopardise the association's finances.
However, he said the OCA would have to work hard to generate surpluses in order to continue to fund its strategic plan during the next five years.
Earlier this month, Otago coach Nathan King resigned during a post-season review.
It is understood more than a dozen players delivered unfavourable reports about his performance making his position untenable.
