O&M Director
Explanation:
Unless you have some CONTEXT to positively back up your selection or can verify it by consultation, then you'd best leave it like that.

You have no obligation to translate unestablished acronyms. Any ordinary native Spanish speaker reading that will not know what "O&M" means either, so therefore your translation could not be considered to be inaccurate. A guess, on the other hand, is very likely to be inaccurate.

You can leave a note: "meaning of acronym unknown". That's honest, and that is how we must work.

And people who speak in acronyms can be damned.
