team manager

Group's head honcho

A team manager oversees a group working toward shared goals, handling scheduling, coordination, and administrative tasks.

In sports, the team manager may be the coach or a support person who handles logistics rather than strategy: The team manager arranged travel and equipment.

In business, team managers supervise employees, assign work, and evaluate performance.
