He acts as if he ... a general manager.
The key phrase here is "as if", which introduces a subjunctive mood — used to describe hypothetical, unreal or imagined situations. In English, when expressing something unreal or contrary to fact, we use "were" (not "was") even with singular subjects. So: "He acts as if he were a general manager" = He is not actually a general manager, but he behaves like one.
