An organization where there are many employees, each employee is designated with a specific designation or role. Many employees report to a person who is above their designation. Like in a IT industry where we have designations like, Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer, Module Lead, Tech Lead, Manager, Director etc. Where Software Engineer and Senior Software Engineer will report to a Module Lead or Tech Lead. Similarly Module Lead and Tech Lead will report to Manager and so on.

Marketing Agent Profile is more restricted compared to Marketing officers Profile.
