Hello,
I am new to the HR world and was wondering what the job titles are in hierachy and what responsibilities generally fall under that title.
I would like to know from HR Associate up to a Sr. Director of HR.
Thank you!

Welcome to the communities. HR is a non regulated function so there is no agreement or universality on job titles or roles. Different organisations will have different titles and even within titles different responsibilities. What a HR Adviser in one organisation might do in another that might be covered by a HR Administrator or even a HRBP (going the other way), as a starter for ten (and no right answer)
HR Administrator - admin, record keeping, contracts , possibly payroll
⇓
HR Adviser - First line support to managers, simpler D&G processes. HR policy, Smaller projects
⇓
HR Officer / HR Manager / HRBP (and here there is most cross over and difference in organisations) - Helps and supports managers with people issues . Mostly operational and tactical rather than strategic. Manages projects and more complex D&G issues. Manages HR Advisers
⇓
Senior HRBP - More involved in strategy and longer term plans. Complex projects. Works alongside Managers to design and implement solutions. Often sits on management teams
⇓
HR Director / VP HR - oversight and direction of function. Acts as BP to Board and senior staff.
Of course there are also specialist career paths (T&D, Comp & Ben etc etc) that parallel these. And as I said no right answer and in each organisation will be slightly different
