manager

Runs the department

A manager is a person who directs or supervises others, especially in a workplace: She's the manager of the sales department.

The term extends to anyone who handles affairs for another—a band's manager, a boxer's manager.

In sports, a manager oversees a team's strategy and personnel.

To manage is to handle or cope: I can manage on my own.
