head of the company
I always translate "máximo responsable" as "head". You can't put CEO or managing director unless you go the company's website and can confirm this person's position.

Note from asker:
| Thank you! Managing Director has been mentioned before, and it is the same bloke, so this will suit:) |
| It was the MD in this instance, but to avoid repetition (it cropped up two sentences previously) I chose "Head..." Thank you! |

chief executive officer (CEO) OR head of the company
This phrase sound like a classical case of the need in spanish to avoid repetitions.
It may well be clear from the rest of the document what this person's official designation in the company is, (the writer just felt it would sound ugly and uneducated to repeat the exact words) or else you can look on the company's website.
However, the CEO is the top person in a company, or alternatively "head of" usually works for "responsable"
