The Dark Brotherhood is a guild of professional assassins with considerable influence and power. Here are the ranks, from highest to lowest.
Night Mother- You cannot become the Night Mother because the Night Mother is a ghost that does not die.
Listener- The only DB member that can speak to the Night Mother. There is only one Listener in the DB, (s)he is also part of the black hand. They must go to the Night Mothers lair under the Lucky Old Lady statue every week and recieve orders.
Speaker- There are 4 speakers in the DB, their job is to recruit new members, to join they have to murder an innocent person. The speakers are part of the Black Hand as well.
Silencer- There are four Silencers, one for each Speaker, they each serve a speaker as an assistent.
Executioner- They give contracts to other DB members.
The rest of the ranks, Assasin, Slayer, and Murderer, don't do anything special.
The Black Hand is the ruling council of the Dark Brotherhood. It is made up of one Listener (the leader), and four Speakers, each responsible for a separate group of Brotherhood members in a Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary. Each Speaker has an assistant known as a Silencer, a personal assassin who handles that Speaker's most dangerous contracts. The Hand operates in secrecy, and the Silencers will likely only know the identity of their particular Speaker.
