What is the general role of the Director/Senior Vice President (SVP)?
Depending on the person (and sometimes the bank), the Director or SVP may either act more like a Managing Director (play a high level client development role) or more like the VP (play a project manager role). Sometimes, the Director/SVP’s role will depend also on the specific situation and/or other dealteam members. Ultimately, for Director/SVPs to be promoted to Managing Director, they will have to demonstrate that they can form client relationships and have the ability to market and to bring in new business.
