English translation:Tier 1
Explanation:
I think this is more suitable for a business context than 'rank', which probably has slightly negative conotation in HR.
As Conor says, one might use 'Level', though to me, that rather tends to connote a LOW / starting level: you go in at Level 1 and climb up through the ranks!
Rather the same with 'Grade' suggested by Phil — although I think the term is appropriate, it might suggest the reverse order of hierarchy.
For these reasons, I feel that 'tier' originally suggested by Phil, of course) is the best answer here, since it looks as if we are talking about the first or 'top tier' of management.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, I went for level in the end. I asked the question because I wasn't sure if this related to something specific about the French education/management system.

3) Dictionary of Human Resources (Editions Liaisons):
rang > rank


If you don't like rank for whatever reason (sounds too military, etc.), you could use "Level" or "Grade".

"To be a Montessori teacher, it is usually necessary to have a bachelor's degree before completing the Montessori training program." So all due respect.

agree  philgoddard: I think 'rank' sounds a bit odd. You could also say 'tier'.

  -> "Tier" back-translates to French as "niveau", so is probably not what the author intended. (Edit) Respect: "To be a Montessori teacher, it is usually necessary to have a bachelor's degree before completing the Montessori training program."
