orchestrator
Behind-the-scenes director
An orchestrator is someone who arranges or coordinates complex elements into a unified whole.
In music, an orchestrator adapts compositions for orchestra, assigning parts to different instruments.
More broadly, anyone who organizes intricate operations—a event planner, a political strategist—may be called an orchestrator: She was the orchestrator of the entire merger.
The term often implies working behind the scenes to make something elaborate happen smoothly.
