Different way to say “You are in charge of it now”
I read a foreign manga and in it there's a circumstance where a boss gave one of his subordinates a job/task, and said something like "You are in charge of it now."or"It's your job now."
Is there any more colloquial way to express the same meaning in English?What sentence do people usually use when they hand over a job to someone?

You can use an idiom like "pass the baton" or "take the wheel" or "manage the helm" etc.
Some examples:
As the present great leader of this company, I now pass the baton over to you.
I used to be the boss here, but now I'm asking you to take the wheel.
You're managing the helm now, get to work and keep me apprised!

To 'run point' is one expression for being in charge, though it might also imply to have command over other people of a similar 'rank'. A superior might say:
"You (are) run(ning) point on this."
