policy-maker
Decides official guidelines
A policy-maker is someone who creates or influences official rules, regulations, or courses of action—typically in government, but also in large organizations: Policy-makers are debating new climate legislation.
The term emphasizes the person's role in shaping decisions that affect many people, distinguishing them from those who merely implement or enforce existing policies.
