At Amex, director is higher than manager and higher level than manager lvl outside of the company. Directors report to a VP. Directors have managers reporting under them, around 4 managers. Managers will manage 1-3 analysts.

It’s better to come in as a director than manager at Amex.

Amex hierarchy

Band 25 (hourly)
Band 30 (salaried no bonus)-Acctg Analyst
Band 35 (salaried & bonus)-Acctg Manager
Band 40 (salaried, bonus, I think directors can purchase stock but not sure) - Acctg director
Band 45 (same as above) VP of Acctg
Band 50+ EVP
