I don’t necessarily think that he is a grand admiral. Maybe a fleet or a vice admiral. That would make more sense to me.Why would it make more sense ? Real question, not nagging. The insigna he’s wearing (http://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2016/04/speculation-ben-mendelsohns-character-in-rogueone.html) ?
If they begin to make a “Rogue” franchise, I would love to see Benedict Cumberbatch as an Imperial officer. Good actor with an interesting face, could be great.
I don’t think that the insigna is canon. A fleet or vice admiral would probably be in charge of the construction. A grand admiral would probably we more concerned about the war at hand, and leading the empire’s naval ships. If that makes sense.
