IT manager

Network department head

An IT manager oversees an organization's information technology operations—hardware, software, networks, and the people who maintain them.

The role bridges technical and business concerns: keeping systems running, managing budgets, and translating between engineers and executives.

Our IT manager approved the new security software.

In smaller companies, the IT manager may be the entire technology department.
