Department titles
I have a title that has to be translated into English.
I have offered the following that are not desired:
Department manager
Subdivision manager
I am not sure what this title would be as the person is in charge of all departments in a medium sized company.
Appreciate any suggestions

general manager
This may be applicable, but so much depends on company preference
Note from asker:
