Road Manager
Often used interchangeably with tour manager on smaller tours. On larger tours, the road manager handles the artist and band party directly while the tour manager handles the wider operation.
In practice
The title varies between tours, so the job split matters more than the label. One run may use “road manager” and “tour manager” for the same role; another may assign the road manager to the artist and band party while the TM coordinates wider logistics. Confirm who owns each call, travel change, and venue conversation before the run.
