A person who is responsible for managing and organizing the technical and operational processes in a company or part of one.

This noun is made up of three parts: 'der Betrieb' (company, plant), the linking 's', and 'der Leiter' (manager, leader). A 'Betriebsleiter' is therefore literally the person who manages an operation or plant.

He manages the entire production area.
The position of 'Betriebsleiter' is found especially in manufacturing and technical companies, such as factories or craft businesses. The operations manager is often responsible for production, machines, and technical processes.
