The Executive Vice President is usually the highest-level Vice President, followed by the Senior Vice President, Vice President, Vice President, and Associate Vice President. They are all management level positions with responsibilities that vary from company to company. It depends on the type of position you are applying for. In some companies, the executive vice president has more responsibilities than the senior vice president.
No, an executive vice president is not superior to a chief financial officer. However, senior managers generally hold a higher position than vice presidents, although a senior position may also hold the position of vice president, such as executive vice president and chief financial officer (CFO). Within the corporate office or corporate center of a corporation, some companies have a president and an executive director (CEO) as the highest-ranking executive, while number two are the president and chief operating officer (COO); other companies have a president and an executive director, but not an official deputy. In British English, the title of CEO is often synonymous with chief executive officer.
The C stands for director, and these senior positions include chief financial officer (CFO), chief executive officer (CEO), chief operating officer (COO), marketing director (CMO), or chief technology officer (CTO). Typically, a senior vice president reports directly to senior management or directly to the chief executive officer (CEO) in a top-down hierarchical hierarchy. Their roles typically include maintaining strong communication with the CEO and high-level executives, formulating the company's business strategy, representing management and the board of directors to the general public and shareholders, and maintaining corporate integrity. In general, senior managers rank higher than vice-presidents, although often a senior position can also hold a position of vice president, such as executive vice president and chief financial officer (CFO).
For example, the positions of chief auditing officer (CAE), director of procurement (CPO), and chief risk officer (CRO) tend to be held by many types of financial services companies.
