German term or phrase: Geschäftsführer (wissenschaftlich/administrativ)
Hi all,

I'm looking for an adequate job title for a ***Geschäftsführer (wissenschaftlich/administrativ)*** at a German research institute (specialising in nano engineering) that is closely linked to a German university.

Please see the following info re the position (organisational structure of the institution etc):

"Die Einrichtung hat einen Vorstand, einen Geschäftsführenden Direktor und die Geschäftsstelle. Diese besteht aus dem ***Geschäftsführer (wissenschaftlich und administrativ)***, einem Technischen Koordinator, mehreren Technikern, Controlling und Sekretariat.

Der Vorstand besteht aus XX Professoren, die aus ihren Reihen einen Geschäftsführenden Direktor vorschlagen und bestätigen lassen. Bei der Leitung der Einrichtung werden Vorstand (und Geschäftsführender Direktor) von einem ***Geschäftsführer (wissenschaftlich und administrativ)*** unterstützt.

Aufgaben des Geschäftsführers:
- umfassende Leitung der Geschäftsstelle (XX Personen) in Abstimmung mit dem Vorstand und mit dem Geschäftsführenden Direktor
- Unterstützung bei Abstimmung wissenschaftlicher Vorhaben und bei der Erstellung und Umsetzung der Forschungsprogramme
- eigenständige Erstellung zugehöriger Strategie- und Planungsunterlagen
- eigenständige Erarbeitung von Vorschlägen für die Mittelverwendung
- fachliche Führung"

So the position in question seems to be reporting to the Vorstand (Board?) and the Geschäftsführender Direktor (Executive Director?).
Now I'm looking for an adequate English job title for the ***Geschäftsführer (wissenschaftlich und administrativ)***.
I had thought about 'Managing Director, Scientific and Administrative' or 'Head of Scientific and Administrative Affairs' but not sure if any of these are any good.

Thanks for all your valuable input
