Assistant, Associate, Coordinator, Manager, Officer, Director - what do all these titles mean...?
Asked by Berlin Doll
and what is the difference between operational, administrative, organizational and executive when it comes to these titles? I don't have a title and I am trying to figure out what fits.

Best Answer:
Assistant is usually an administrative/clerical assistant to someone else or a department. Associate is usually an employee in a large department where a supervisor has a lot of people they are over. Coordinator is usually an admin asst that handles the usual administrative tasks with a lot more responsibilities (may be several departments or act as a liaison between those depts.) Manager usually is someone over a department or program Officer is usually a designated person over an audit able position...in addition to their job responsibilities, they are over either the whole department or many depts. (privacy officer, quality improvement officer, chief financial officer) Director, is over a department. Of course, each company classifies the responsibilities differently, even though the title may seem to fall elsewhere.
