This is describing the process of putting together a job description for a post which must be filled.

"Les 2 premières sections sont automatiquement renseignées, les managers (Hiérarchique et Matriciel) du salarié ne renseignent que les parties 2 à 6 qui constituent le cœur de l’évaluation."

The only clue in the document is a diagram showing that the "Manager Matriciel" is involved in an "Etape d'élaboration collaborative" with the "Manager Hiérarchique", the outcome of which is then sent (arrow) to the "Recruteur RH".

Naturally enough I also researched "responsable matriciel". Nothing doing either way. I did however find a nice page of FR definition: http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/matriciel - as well as referring to "matrices" in the sense of "grids/tables", the etymology also of course relates to "womb".

Anyway in this page I was intrigued by the expression "lois peuvent être dites « matricielles » en ce sens qu'elles l'engendrent; à l'égard du pouvoir réglementaire autonome les lois peuvent être dites « parallèles »" ... and so I was led to wonder if "manager matriciel" here could mean something like "alternative manager"...?

agree  philgoddard: It might need a word or two of explanation, as it's not a well-known term.

  -> Thank you, Phil. Yes, I agree - "matrix management" is frequently used, but not "matrix manager". Have a pleasant Sunday.
