What is project hierarchy?

Project managers are generally at the top of a project's hierarchy and report to the company's executives or even its board of directors in certain cases. They are also different classes of project managers depending on the company. They can also include the director of project management, senior project manager, and vice president of operations.

Here is a list of roles beneath a project manager from highest rank to lowest rank positions:

• Project coordinator. Works directly under the project manager and assists them with large-scale tasks. They are also in charge of organizing a team or teams for a project and developing efficient and cost-effective strategies to complete the project.

• Assistant project manager. This title can vary depending on the company and specific project. Though often, they act as personal assistants to the project manager and project coordinator, making sure all directions from them are clearly communicated to the team or teams.

  They also may be in charge of making sure projects are aligning with time goals.

• Associate project manager. Works amongst the team of a specific project and backs up tasks, orders, and initiatives given by higher-level project managers.

• Junior project manager. The entry-level position of project management. Tasks may include a wide variety of things and can apply to anything that is needed to keep a project moving forward smoothly.
