How to say assistant top manager in French. Hello everyone, I wanted to express something in reference to my managers. However, I have an immediate supervisor and a manager who is the head of the whole department. The manager who is the head of the department has two assistant managers. I would like to know the proper way to say assistant manager in French. Also, I want to clarify that my immediate supervisor would be called "chef" and the top manager would be "patron(ne). Thanks in advance.
