Manager -> Senior manager -> associate director -> director -> senior/executive director -> VP is generally the structure

I agree with this hierarchy. Some groups may have less roles, for example my group doesn’t have senior manager but in general should be the same.

I don't know about AZ specifically but usually in pharma managers don't actually manage anyone and tend to be entry level positions.

Yeah I worked at AZ and in marketing, access strategy, etc. manager is usually at the bottom of the hierarchy. Ms and SMs (and sometimes ADs) under a D, a few Ds under an SD, and so on

like

Manager is the entry level position for post-grad folks in most of pharma. If you have an MBA, PhD or something like that, you should get at least manager right out of school.

With today's market, I am offer people with 12-18m consulting experience senior manager roles (even if they don't have a good grade degree)

Some places also have associate manager - which is entry level for people w grad degrees (or rotational programs)

Any craft beer brewers here?

In the last two year I’ve gotten more and more into alcohol free beer. The selection in my country (Europe) is still small and mainly driven by the big brands (e.g. Heineken). My idea is to start my own small brewery which only produces alcohol free beer as a bit of a pendant to the booming local craft beer industry.
