head office manager/director


Explanation:
The "sede" usually means the head office of a company, and the directora's title could be manager, director, or even CEO.
Occasionally, it might mean a branch office or subsidiary, but it's usually the head office.

In contrast, a "site director" would be appropriate on for example an archaeological dig, or a construction project.

Example sentence(s):
  • The Head Office Manager is responsible for maintaining in good order the Corporation Seal...
  • The Head Office Manager is responsible for the work of the tourist agency...

neutral  Jennifer Levey: The ILO HQ in Geveva is commonly referred to as the 'sede central'. ILO also has 'sedes' in 5 regions, more-properly called 'Oficina Regional' / Regional Office. // No, it would be Regional Office Director.
