oversees
Runs the show
Oversees is the third-person singular of oversee, meaning to supervise or watch over work, people, or processes to ensure things proceed correctly: She oversees a team of twelve engineers.
The word implies responsibility and authority rather than hands-on involvement—a manager oversees without necessarily doing the work themselves.
