Crossword Genius

Runner or dramatist in play (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

administrator

'runner' is the definition.
(in the sense of someone who runs things)

'or dramatist in play' is the wordplay.
'play' indicates anagramming the letters.
'or'+'dramatist'+'in'='ordramatistin'
'ordramatistin' anagrammed gives 'ADMINISTRATOR'.

(Other definitions for administrator that I've seen before include "Manager, controller" , "Business organiser" , "one controls" , "Executive" , "Official organiser" .)
