The office of governor is an appointed position, with officeholders being appointed by the president of Ukraine, on recommendation from the prime minister of Ukraine, to serve a four-year term.

Due to the current Russo-Ukrainian war, since 24 February 2022, the governor of Zaporizhzhia Oblast is officially called Head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Civil Administration. The official residence for the governor is located in Zaporizhzhia. As a result of the Russian occupation of Zaporizhzhia Oblast and the subsequent disputed referendum, there are now competing Russian and Ukrainian governors.
