Yes, an administrator is higher than a manager. An administrator is typically a higher position than a manager in most companies' management structures. While there are many similarities between the two roles, there are several key differences.
Both positions are focused on executing the company vision, but administrators are part of the team that determines the company's direction. They are involved in all aspects of its strategy, including staffing, budgetary concerns, and production, and are instructed, by administrators, to convey the plan to employees.
As a result of the relationship between the two positions, managers work more closely with employees. Administrators are often the link between managers and upper levels of administration, such as the CEO or COO. Managers also typically specialize in one area of focus while administrators oversee multiple operation sites within a company.
