The hiring manager makes the final decision. I’ve disregarded feedback from my teams and peer interviewers. At the end of the day, it is my decision.

Generally it’s hiring manager but if they haven’t been in company for too long then hiring manager’s boss. Team it depends.

HR is the gate keeper. In some ways you could say they have the most influence because your resume may not even make it to the manager or team without them thinking you are a viable candidate.

Assuming your resume makes it past HR, it is the purview of the HM and the team, depending on how the company/team is structured. I've applied at some companies where the decision is 100% the HM, and others where the team all have equal say and even one "No" vote sinks your chances, even if the HM likes you.
