# Corporate CLA Managers

A CLA Manager is the person who manages the list of authorized contributors, and other aspects of their company's CCLA.

Before a CCLA is signed, there is not yet an official "CLA Manager". Someone from the contributing company will be responsible for [coordinating the CCLA signing process](https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/easycla/v2-current/corporate-cla-managers/coordinate-signing-cla-and-become-initial-cla-manager). That person will become the initial CLA Manager after CCLA is signed.

The person who will become the initial CLA Manager is responsible for:

* [Coordinating the CCLA signing process](https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/easycla/v2-current/corporate-cla-managers/coordinate-signing-cla-and-become-initial-cla-manager)

After the CCLA is signed, a CLA Manager of the company is responsible for:

* [Approving contributors](https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/easycla/v2-current/corporate-cla-managers/approve-and-manage-contributors)
* [Adding or deleting other CLA managers](https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/easycla/v2-current/corporate-cla-managers/add-or-delete-cla-managers)
