: Diese Bezeichnung ist aber nicht unbedingt auf die nachfolgende, allgemeinere Angabe "in civil service/local government" übertragbar. / Ja, klar, das wäre mir aber für die Zwecke des hier zu übersetzenden Fragebogens trotzdem zu speziell.

Hauptreferenten gibt es auch in Kreis- und Gemeindeverwaltungen. // Ich denke, Du hast Recht, Dein Vorschlag passt hier wirklich besser ("ranghohe/r leitende/r Angestellte/r").
