How would this title be translated? In this context someone is talking about his מנהלת אישית.
Somehow, "my personal manager" doesn't sound right.
Thanks.

Personal Administrator/Secretary
More context would be nice. :)
Generally speaking, I've often heard "(personal) Admin" in relation to a מנהלת אישית of a senior Executive.

In this case I suggest "first line manager" or "supervisor"

immediate superior
If the context is "the one who manages me personally", then "immediate superior" seems reasonable.

Why not simply "my boss"?
