In this article we expose the capacities and different specialities that this job offers characterizing cultural management as a unitary profession, although it has several branches, because of its capacity to integrate all the elements linked to the cultural fact. The concept of cultural management concept is defined as a science that is able to unify profiles and creates a new family at the same time: that of the person that work more in general terms(up to now it was more specific) in this wide sector that in the end we call culture.
