My friend and I are having a small disagreement on what do you call someone working in a firm and having some what the same importance like a managing director... like in the same level but with lesser powers.... I said assistant managing director but he says vice managing director.. he says assistant is like a secretary or smth so a proper term would be vice...

managing director
l
l
assistant managing director

OR

managing director
l
l
vice managing director

or just make someone the CEO

assistant.

I have no idea what the hell is going on in your friend's mind to make "vice managing director" sound right. Verbally or otherwise.

What about Associate Managing Director or Senior Manager?
