staff Explanation: I feel sorry for you! This is a kind of job that I would not want to accept. But if I did, I think I would put it as "staff." I think it generally refers to a non-managerial position. In English we tend to say more specifically, such as engineer and technician. The person generally works in a specialized field, rather than being an administrative assistant type of capacity. |

specialist / operations specialist / services specialist Explanation: 担当 means being in charge of something, and there seems to be lots of job postings for positions called "ABC担当職", with ABC specifying what the person is going to be in charge of. If all we can tell is that 担当職 will be in charge of SOMETHING specific that we don't know, I would go for "specialist", "operations specialist" or "business specialist" meaning that the person is a specialist in whatever he's doing at work. |

Reference: Glossaries be d - Reference information: I think even Japan natives have problem figuring out exactly what 担当職 does - see link 1, and if you looked at the best answer it's actually talking about a jack-of-trades that basically does a bunch of different things. Also see the description about 担当職 in the second link as well as the daily timetable below, and that seems to be a kind of general support position as well. So I'm actually going to suggest that you plot out the company's hierarchical structure if possible, figure out what the position's duties are, and try to find a corresponding term, or even make one up.
