As a rule, the job of a producer is to make sure whatever needs doing gets done - either by himself, by someone more qualified, or by someone less busy.
Of course, there are always tons of people credited as producers on a feature film. Executive producers address financing and exit strategies, or in other words, finding the money and the distribution. Line producers are specialists in keeping the budget. Co-Producers are what they sound like: they take some of the producing duties from the lead producer. Associate producers are basically those people who contribute something the producer really needs along the way.
These aren't defined "jobs" that every film needs filled by a different individual, so much as the tasks that tend to get delegated first. Generally speaking, the more independent the project is, the less strict the "job descriptions". Clear delineation of responsibility tends to be something one finds in corporate environments. When the money and the structure of an HR department isn't available, you need to be a lot more flexible in what you're willing to do.
I hope this answers some questions!
