The authority and responsibility for the exercise of the DTI mandate is vested in the Secretary who, like his predecessors, is a Presidential appointee who serves office at the pleasure of the President.

Gregory L. Domingo is the current DTI Secretary who, as the DTI Department head, has the authority and responsibility for the discharge of DTI powers and functions.

Specifically, his functions are:

To advise the President of the Philippines on matters related to trade and investments, and industry, and on the promulgation of Department orders, rules and regulations, and other issuances related to trade, industry, and investments
To establish policies and standards for the effective, efficient, and economical operations of the Department in accordance with government programs
To supervise and control over all offices, functions, and activities of the Department
To delegate authority for the performance of any administrative or substantive function to any Undersecretary or other officials of rank at the Department
To ensure the clear delineation of the functions of personnel and constituent units of the Department, including its attached agencies to prevent task duplication or overlapping

Currently, under the Secretary are four Undersecretaries and one Assistant Secretary.

The Undersecretaries assist the Secretary in performing his duties by supervising one of the four major functional groups of the Department, namely: Industry and Investments, International Trade, Consumer Welfare and Trade Regulation, and Regional Operations.

Specifically, the functions of an Undersecretary are:

To advise the Secretary in the promulgation of Department orders, administrative orders, and other issuances
To supervise over the offices, service, operating units and individuals under his/her authority and responsibility
To formulate office rules and regulations, consistent with those of the Department policies that will effectively implement the activities of operating units under his/her authority and responsibility
To coordinate the functions and activities of the units under his/her authority with those of the other Undersecretaries

An Assistant Secretary, on the other hand, assists the Secretary and Undersecretaries in the formulation and implementation of laws, policies, plans, programs, and projects on trade and industry and oversees the day-to-day administration of the constituent units of the Departments.
