A vice president is a leader of a company or department in a company who serves under the president or CEO. Their position of senior leadership resembles that of the president. They can speak for the company, sign contracts, and make major decisions. Individual departments also have vice president roles. It is not uncommon for a business to have multiple vice presidents in multiple departments. Each has a specific title and specialty. When larger corporations are split into subsidiaries, there will be a vice president in each division to oversee the organization. For example, a company may have a Vice president of marketing, vice president of human resources, and a vice president of east coast operations all in one location. On the west coast, they’ll have different people with the same title to fulfill those roles.
