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.

like

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)

Many are wondering what’s wrong with ClearView. The problem is straightforward, if the way ClearView is organizing a project such that when one analyst or senior analyst (22 to 24 year old) fails at something, stakes are high enough that an project’s fate depends on it, then ClearView is putting way too much responsibility on its Junior staff, not promoting and severely underpaying them. Maybe it’s time ClearView brought in a consulting firm to ease its org problems
