    Why do we not use the instrumental case here?

      because "nasz dyrektor" =our director is a subject of the sentence, and "gdzie" works like adverb.

        "Gdzie jest nasz szef"? - why not?

          "Szef" = "Boss", "director" doesn't have to be your boss in fact.

          "Director" doesn't have to be a boss but he CAN BE a boss as well.

            Yes. Although it doesn't matter in this sentence.
