Word Choice – Head of Office vs Office Manager: What’s the Difference?

differenceword-choiceword-usage

I'm curious about the difference between "head of office" and "office manager". As far as I can see, they both refer to pretty much the same job, but I get the feeling that "head of office" is the title, whereas "office manager" is the name of the job. Am I right about this, or could either be used bot as a title and as the name of the job?

Best Answer

An office manager plans and organises work in an office.

The head of an office is the senior person in an office.

Office management is something that the head of an office might be expected to do. So the head of an office may well be the office manager. Or the head of an office might hire someone to do office management for them.
