Actualy it's depends in company process

Test manager just Manages the things like he'll comunicate with Bussiness analyst, Thecnical team and with QA team

Just he'll check what's going

Test Lead or QA lead: He prepares the Test Plan and usecase documents

Test Engineer: He takes the Usecase Document from the QA lead and prepares the Testcases after that execution of test cases, finding bugs and reporting all are done by test engineer.
