Dean of graduate studies

It would be best if you were more specific. The highest-ranking officer in this regard in the university is usually the 'dean of graduate studies, which manages 'the office of graduate studies.' This is usually a high-ranking academic, so the director/manager (or sometimes a personal assistant) typically handles the day-to-day affairs.

https://www.adelaide.edu.au/graduate-research/about/dean-of-...

Faculties usually have a 'graduate program coordinator' who is the first point of contact for graduate students

Other administrative roles are also possible. The correct equivalent depends on the job definition of the person, which is missing here.

... it also depends on the scope of his responsibilities.

... What we call اموزش in Iranian universities is usually the 'registrar office' in the Western universities, managed by the 'registrar' which is a senior administrator executive

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registrar_(education)
https://registrar.ku.edu
https://registrar.cornell.edu

And the person in charge of the graduate section could be called the "graduate registrar."
https://graduate.dartmouth.edu/academics/graduate-registrar

Again, due to a lack of context (job definition), it is impossible to determine the position the asked term refers to precisely.
