team lead

Group's main coordinator

A team lead is someone who supervises and coordinates a small group working toward a shared goal, typically in a workplace setting.

The role usually involves assigning tasks, providing guidance, and serving as the point of contact between the team and higher management: Our team lead runs the Monday standup meetings.

Team lead often implies hands-on involvement in the work itself, distinguishing it from purely managerial positions.
