There's not enough information to say for certain. It depends upon the company. However, it sounds like "the executive for security management" is the title of a position in a company, while "the executive in charge of security management" sounds like the function of a person at a company (even if that is not his official title).

Thanks so much, DoctorD.

The executive in charge of the Security Department.

Is this okay?
Can I omit 'the'?
Can I replace 'in charge of' with 'for' here?

Again, this depends on how you are using the phrase. But note that in the examples below, I drop the word "department" when I use the word "for."


Jack is the executive in charge of the Security Department. Jack, Executive for Security, works for XYZ company.
