co-captain
Joint team leader
A co-captain shares leadership of a team or group with one or more other captains.
The arrangement divides responsibility equally rather than establishing hierarchy: The coach named two co-captains for the season.
Common in sports, where teams may want multiple leaders representing different positions or qualities.
