A chief administrative officer (CAO) is responsible for administrative management of governmental corporations and the tittle is also seen on occasion in private business corporations in non-executive employment possitions. The CAO manages daily administrative activities as an employee. This is not the same as a (CEO) Chief Executive Officer who is an executive holding personal liability over the corporation that a CAO's job does not.
In a municipal context, the title is usually used as an alternative for city manager, particularly in cases where the position does not include powers such as the authority to appoint or dismiss department heads.
