would really like to break into
product management and believe in
my 5 weeks so far I have shown skills
to back that up. Would it be
acceptable to ask my manager to

Assistant to the Regional Manager http://stevemurrell.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Dwight-Schrute.jpg
These roles reside in Core Business Services (CBS). As others have mentioned, this encompasses most of the firm’s non-billable roles.
Associate = staff
Senior Associate = senior
Assistant Director = manager
Associate Director = SM
Director = PPEDD (the last D = Director)
It is possible for Directors to become PP, but it’s very rare.
You would be in an internal, non-client facing role. Responsibilities vary by role. If I were to compare to client serving roles, Assistant Director would be similar to a Manager title. To answer your question, Assistant Director is below Associate Director. Associate Director is below Director, who is below Partner.
My US perspective: we have PPEDDs - Partner/Principal/Executive Director/(Assistant) Director. I've mainly seen AD titles used in HR (People Consulting)/Recruiting. Have never met or seen a US-based "Director"
CBS has a director title, and some are financial controllers. Assistant Directors are titles for internal roles at EY. Simply put, you’re not in a client facing role.
It's a back office/business support function. Meaning your clients would be the external serving clients. I think the levels go Assistant Director then Associate Director then Director

I'm a Senior Manager and have been with EY more than 10 years. Those titles are for folks in the CBS organization...not one of the four SLs. They are our back office support function, including finance, IT, HR (People), Marketing/Branding, etc. Good call on BD support...those folks do serve market facing folks and do meet with external clients in a sales capacity. In my experience, the BDEs are more effective in smaller accounts where there isn't a GCSP that's really active there and in some instances they're effective at a G360 since the account is too big for one GCSP and the SL account leaders to handle. But again, I stand by my statement...CBS folks only exist to serve the SLs aka external client serving folks.
