Let me get this straight! You ARE reporting to a Vice President. That makes you a SENIOR Manager. You have been given the golden opportunity but you think you are SuperMan - sorry you're not - so DELEGATE ! Either promote from within or hire some junior managers - e.g. HR, etc. Work out what needs to be done and delegate. I presume you like the architecture design, etc. Once you delegate (and hold responsible) others for the roles that you do not enjoy and do not have bandwidth to handle, you can do what you enjoy. Remember it is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. You might be surprised to discover that you were being tested to see if you could step up. You DO NOT need to learn how to do it all, you simply hire competent people to do what you are unable to.
