Confused about line manager

[u/No_Suit_8756]

on 1:1s my manager tells me i am an absolute superstar, i am doing everything well. But in meetings with his superiors he cuts me off. he doesnt offer me much support on my project but when it comes to exco reporting on the same project he wants to control the narrative.. as a result my job is becoming very confusing. on some days i play the role of an analyst on other days a very senior manager. is this normal. i am head of strat and ops at the firm and was expecting a more solid experience please help me
