assumer
One who presumes
One who assumes—takes on a role, accepts responsibility, or takes something for granted.
The word is rare; English speakers typically use other constructions: She assumed the position rather than She was the assumer of the position.
When it does appear, it often carries a faintly critical tone, suggesting presumption: The assumer of authority had no real claim to it.
