co-manager
Joint leadership role
A co-manager shares management responsibilities with one or more others.
The term appears in retail, sports, finance, and other fields where two people split oversight duties: She was promoted to co-manager of the store.
In investment funds, co-managers jointly oversee portfolio decisions.
The arrangement may divide authority by function, time, or simply provide redundancy.
