English term or phrase: Executive Vice President/Senior Vice President
Kontext: Berufsbezeichnungen in einem Fragebogen, deswegen möchte ich sie auch nicht so stehen lassen.
Kann ein Vice President auch ein Vorstandamitglied sein? Also ist ein Executie Vice President eher ein stellvertrender Vorstandsvorsitzernder oder eher ein geschäftsführender Vizpräsident, was wäre dann der Senior Vice President, kann es mehrere geben?

Reference information:
You can get started with the link I listed below. Titles often just depend on individual company policy. Long ago I worked in an investment bank on Wall Street that had Managing Directors as the top management level just below the CEO, below them was a bunch of Senior Vice Presidents and then Vice Presidents. Associates were the lowest on the totem pole. The titles had to do with how much money they brought into the company. Period.

Obviously, there are some conventions followed (I'm not sure if they are legally binding or not in the US), depending on a company's legal form.

My advice is to get an organigramm from the company in question.

  -> Thank you, Goldcoaster.
agree  Stefanie Löcherer: This sounds really sensible if the English titles should not be used in German.

  -> Thank you. That was the idea if, in fact, German "equivalents" were essential in this case, which Asker appears to be saying.
