co-director
Joint creative leader
A co-director shares directing duties with one or more others on a film, play, organization, or project.
The arrangement may divide responsibilities by scene, department, or creative vision, or involve genuine collaboration throughout: The Coen brothers co-directed all their early films.
In business contexts, co-directors share leadership of a department or institution.
