Start with both hands in 'X' handshapes (index fingers hooked) in front of your body, with your palms facing each other. Move your hands back and forth alternately a few times, as if you are holding and pulling the reins of a horse. Finish the sign by changing both hands to flat handshapes, palms facing each other, and moving them straight down to indicate a person.
Point to yourself for 'I', sign 'need', then 'speak', and finish with the sign for 'manager' by using the alternating 'X' hands followed by the downward person marker.
Point to the person for 'she', sign 'new', then 'store', and conclude with the sign for 'manager' to clearly establish her role in the workplace.
Sign 'manager', then 'busy' by brushing your dominant 'B' hand over the back of your non-dominant wrist, and finish with 'now' using two 'Y' hands.

The difference is the 'person' ending. 'Manage' is just the first part of the sign with the alternating 'X' hands. To say 'manager,' you must add the flat hands moving downward at the end to show it is a person performing the action.
Yes! The first part of the sign means 'control,' 'manage,' or 'direct.' Adding the person marker makes it 'manager,' 'director,' or 'controller.' The specific English translation will depend on the context of your conversation.
They should alternate. Moving both 'X' hands forward and backward at the exact same time is a different sign, often used for 'rule' or 'govern.' The alternating motion specifically conveys the ongoing process of managing.
