"I don't. I am honored to be granted a greater role," Signum responded when Momo had finished. You could call it good organizational awareness or just arrogance concerning her own prospects, but Signum wasn't particularly surprised by the news, just the way it had come to her. Even with the large number of people from his world he had to draw upon, Hitsugaya's organization had expanded rapidly and she had noted on the bulletin postings teams sent out without an officer; Momo's explanation didn't come as news. She had the requisite skills and experience in small-unit command, and Momo's respect. She hadn't counted on such a promotion- the group was, after all, dominated by the shinigami- but it made good sense.
