Market manipulation is illegal. No company has anyone in such a position.
However, many companies have a group within the company that handles Investor Relations. You can usually find information about that group on the company’s web site. The head of that group may have a title like Director of Investor Relations or VP of Investor Relations.
Companies also determine whether to issue new stock or buy back stock. These decisions are usually made by the Board of Directors with input from the CFO (Chief Financial Officer).
