authorized supervisor


Explanation:
I fully agree with the other two suggested translations, but IMO the usage is uncommon in English. 'Authorized supervisor' is not an exact translation, but it is typically used in English in this context.

(In that case, you could translate 'Vorgesetzter' as 'immediate superior').
