Manage to get across and to meet with (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oversee

'manage' is the definition.
(I know that manage is a more specific form of administer)

'across and to meet with' is the wordplay.
'across' becomes 'over' (synonyms).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'to meet with' becomes 'see' (I've seen this before).
'over'+'see'='OVERSEE'

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for oversee that I've seen before include "take charge" , "What superintendent will do" , "Supervise officially" , "Watch people toil" , "As supervisor does" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
