Sounds like your experience is with small organisations. Management is required in large enterprises.

  Exactly. Once the number of stakeholders crosses a certain threshold, your lead developer will be so busy with them that they will essentially just become the manager because they wouldn't have any time to code.

    What if the company hires someone dedicated for this role who... does not report to the lead developer but works with them?

      Soooo...a manager?

        Well, maybe you can call it manager. But it would be a "project manager" and no one would report to them - at least that is what I meant with the alternative that I suggested.
