Ask your client I really think you should ask your client what this person actually does. Other possibilities that have come to mind are controller and management systems manager, but they are only guesses. Good luck.
Eileen Cartoon (asker) Oct 22, 2009:
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Yes, it is in the organization chart and does report to the General Manager and it is a separate entity, there is a Quality Manager, etc. and there is this position as simply Responsabile Gestione. It can't be Oprations manager because that postiion is indicated separately. I presume Administrative Manager is my best bet but if you have any other ideas....
Hilary Bruce Oct 21, 2009:
Where does the position appear.. ...in the organization chart? Reporting to the general manager? It would normally be qualified by another word, for example Responsabile Gestione Qualità. Administrative Manager is possible but it's a little vague. I would ask the client to clarify if I were you.
Eileen Cartoon (asker) Oct 21, 2009:
sorry, but I probably wasn't clear. This isn't a form of management it is the job position of the manager the peson "responsabile" per la "gestione". All help appreciated

Dear Eileen, to avoid "administrative" you can use "office" - "office manager" - take a look here:
!...Also known as an “office manager,” an administrative manager oversees the administrative operations of a business or organization. An administrative manager may supervise administrative personnel within an office, such as receptionists, filing clerks, secretaries, or executive assistants. He or she may also be the sole person that provides administrative support to a particular division, department, or business or organization as a whole. ..."

Operations Manager

General Director, General Manager, or CEO...and Operations Manager or COO.
"Gestione", in italian and spanish, implies "doing", even though in in english it is translated as managing or management.
In todays world of corporate governance, there are positions such as Comptroller that are accountable for company compliance or "responsability", but I dont think that is the case here.
Depends on the organizational structure, so maybe with more context, you can find the appropiate title
Example sentence:

The General Manager is responable for overall performance of the company and accounatable to sharholders and/or owners, where as the Operations Manager is responsable for the day-to-day performance of company and is accountable to the General Manager.

Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : This avoids the tautology of "administrative manager".

agree Antonio Camangi : Even though it could be "Administration Manager" if responsibility is not clearly referred to operations.

agree potra : Yes, I think that this would work well for a general context
