'die Führungskraft' and 'die Managerin' can both refer to a person in a leadership position. 'Führungskraft' is a general word for someone who leads employees and is responsible for a team or area. 'Managerin' often means a woman who plans, directs, and organizes within a company. However, the word can also refer to a woman who handles the business affairs of, for example, an artist or an athlete. When the focus is generally on personnel responsibility, 'Führungskraft' fits very well. When it is about a female person with management tasks or about managing a career, 'Managerin' is more natural.
