Director would be the highest level, then manager, then coordinator. Where I work, a director would be in charge of a department or division and would have ultimate financial and supervisory responsibility for that department. Several managers report to the director and they directly supervise the employees and have a piece of the budget to manage.
If the manager's group is very large, they may also have a few supervisors who directly interact with the employees in terms of giving out work and doing performance reviews. We don't have coordinators as an official title, but I would equate them to supervisor, I guess. Perhaps not co-incidentally, this is the highest level where people are expected to do actual work. In my corporation, there are no directors I believe that was the position the ceo was hired for and after getting the job changed the title.
Managers are one step below the ceo and part of the "management team" each with responsibilty over entire departments, one step below that are branch managers directly supervising staff, responsible for day to day and co-ordinators no staff, special responsibilities, no power. Then there are the front-line plebs like myself that actually do work. Seriously, I worked closely with a member of the management team that spent weeks doing nothing but revise our mission statement over and over.
We are unionised so everyone in those three levels are non-union staff. I had no idea "co-ordinator" was a valid job title, I thought my corporation made it up to make the powerless, underpaid co-ordinators feel good without actually granting them any managerial power.
I'm a vaguely international business consultant who trips over the globally various uses of these terms, which vary by region and industry.
The film and insurance industries definitely have different uses of the word "director" for example. In situations where you manage more than one function, this is especially appropriate. For example, if you handle the finances for your company and oversee the accounting and human resources staff, ask for a director position. The same goes for a marketing position that oversees advertising, promotions and public relations staff. Sam Ashe-Edmunds has been writing and lecturing for decades.

Managers also have an eye toward developing their teams over time to meet future demands, not just current ones. Within most organizations, managers are regarded as middle-level management.
They report to a director, someone within the C-suite, or vice president VP. Often, they have the authority to hire, dismiss, or promote employees.
Supervisors, on the other hand, typically report to managers and usually don't have the power to dismiss or promote employees.
They are, however, able to recommend changes based on an employee's performance. Managers create plans that senior management approves. Managers then give the plan to supervisors for them to carry out.
The supervisors assign various tasks and duties to employees. Supervisors don't have a lot of organizational power, yet they influence the experience, motivation, and performance of a vast swath of the workforce. Employees generally use supervisors as their first point of contact. Team members should feel comfortable openly communicating with the supervisor. If the supervisor can't help, issues escalate to the manager.
One of the biggest differences between managers and supervisors is delegation. Supervisors delegate and oversee the day-to-day tasks of employees on their team. They make sure that employees are being compensated and recognized for their contributions. This ensures that employees know how to do their jobs and manage their time and resources to deliver quality and meet commitments to their customers, within and outside the organization.
This ensures their department contributes to the overall success and goals of the company. The manager must be a leader who provides overall direction and inspires supervisors and employees to achieve the group's objectives.
Competent supervisors understand the work their team members must do. They also keep track of the work that their employees complete and respond quickly to create contingency plans and fill gaps. Put simply, managers are responsible for managing, not just employees.
Money, materials, machinery, and methods in their department all fall under their control. Supervisors are responsible for supervising employees. They make sure staff follow management directives and company policy. Through their day-to-day interactions, supervisors also provide training, motivation, connection, and belonging. Supervisors are often overlooked shapers of culture.
Keep in mind that not all organizations have, or require, supervisors. Industries that typically have supervisors tend to have a relatively large percentage of lower- or entry-level employees, such as production, manufacturing, and warehouse operations. Managers are more commonplace throughout many industries, from engineering and construction to communication and marketing, where there are relatively fewer entry-level employees.
They set organizational goals, either themselves, or collaboratively with the Managers. Here's a "Leadership Pyramid" offered by Collins.
