Department head/manager
Explanation:
It means "the heads of the various departments / managers of the respective department" but seeing as it is just one word I would use "Department head".

agree  MariyaN (X): I think "managers of the respective departments" would be more appropriate exactly because we can see only one word 各長 and no context. 各 implies that there are several of whatever follows - like 長 in this case.
