Are you working on the big K-International project too? If so, their glossary says this should be "Lead Partner".
Otherwise, Jane is right, "project leader" is very accurate.
Good luck!

All of them refer to \'project manager\' the way you describe it but are you sure that \'chefe de fila\' corresponds to the definition you provided?
We could be more accurate if you give us the sentence in Portuguese.

Marcus, I understand your point but I must say that I have never heard such a thing like \'chefe de fila\'. That is what I was trying to warn you about.
