IT Outsourcing Contract
I’m translating an Outsourcing Contract from Spain. One of the annexes to the contract is a Glossary of Terms, and my query relates to one of the entries in that glossary.
CONTEXT:
’Comunicación y gestión del cambio:
Función de un proyecto o servicio que se encarga de informar a los receptores del servicio o resultados del proyecto de las informaciones que les son relevantes, con objeto de facilitar la evolución y el cambio.’
What I’m having problems with is how to express ‘Función’ and ‘que se encarga de’ in this context. ‘Role’ or ‘Function’ wouldn’t be right here, for obvious reasons; and ‘is responsible for’ doesn’t work either...
Any ideas? I’m translating into US English. Many thanks in advance.

: I know funzione is often used to mean "individual" or "employee" in Italian, and it fits the context here. Servicio is "department".

Discussion
This definition is referring to all of their roles collectively. It does not refer to the role/function of one specific person (or even dept.) — which is precisely my problem here.
Just thought I'd clear that up. Thanks for all your help. Saludos.
