Are there any more senior roles in your company that interest you? If so, I'd suggest trying to grab coffee or lunch with some those of those people so you can hear more about the position. Just be honest that you are trying to sort out the career path you'd like to hear their take on what they do(come prepared with a few questions so they don't think you're wasting their time).
That's a good question and suggestion. I have not researched other opportunities around the company. I feel like I have been wearing blinders lately to other opportunities and career paths. I will spend some time researching the organizational chart for potential ideas.

I think getting to middle management is pretty easy, but taking the jump up to Director and beyond is where the spots start getting tight.

Get moving. Sorry, 5 years at the same position you landed just out of undergrad is doing nothing for your resume. It's time to do something new: unless you're on a clear upward pathway, you need to switch jobs. Find a new but related industry, switch fields within the same company, go to graduate school: there are endless opportunities out there, but staying put in the same place with no job advancement, title change, new challenges, etc is NOT really a pathway to lifelong success.
