AVP stands for Assistant vice president, a job title abbreviation.

Junior officer rank below vice president, common in banks, insurers and large corporations, usually held by experienced managers or specialists who supervise small teams. The title signals officer status without senior executive responsibility.

Example: After four years as an analyst, he was promoted to AVP in the bank's credit risk team.

Usage notes

Also expanded as associate vice president, especially in universities and some financial firms. The AVP rank is prominent in Indian and American financial services. Title inflation in banking means AVPs can be relatively junior compared with similarly titled roles in other industries.
