'Der Verwalter' (the administrator / manager) is derived directly from the verb 'verwalten' (to manage / to administer). The ending '-er' denotes the (male) person who performs this activity.
Er verwaltet das Vermögen seiner Familie.
He manages his family's assets.
The word is often combined with the area the person is responsible for. Typical examples are 'Hausverwalter' (property manager), 'Immobilienverwalter' (real estate manager), 'Nachlassverwalter' (estate administrator), or 'Insolvenzverwalter' (insolvency administrator).
Der Nachlassverwalter kümmert sich um das Erbe des Verstorbenen.
The estate administrator takes care of the deceased person's estate.
Common verbs used with 'Verwalter' are 'den Verwalter kontaktieren' (to contact the administrator), 'sich an den Verwalter wenden' (to get in touch with the administrator), or 'den Verwalter informieren' (to inform the administrator).

leader / conductor
'der Leiter' and 'der Verwalter' can both have responsibility for something. 'der Leiter' mainly leads people, a group, a department, or an organization. 'der Verwalter' is more concerned with looking after property, money, buildings, data, or a system, often on behalf of someone else. The words can be confused because both organize things and make decisions. As a practical rule: when leading people is involved, 'Leiter' usually fits; when managing and organizing things is involved, 'Verwalter' is more likely to fit.
