Usage Note
Responsable functions both as an adjective ('responsible') and as a noun meaning 'the person in charge' (el responsable del proyecto). As a noun it is common gender — el/la responsable — so context or the article signals the person's gender. It never changes its ending for agreement when used as a noun.
