Chief of (job) staff/Junior Minister.(sector)..../Secretary of State/Commissioner...
Title would depend a lot on WHICH Minister in which country the job reports to. On Internet you can find 'chief of (defence) staff' (Canada), Junior Minister Livestock (in Min of Agriculture), lots of Secretaries of State reporting to different Ministers (France), Commissioner (head of FCAC reporting to Minister of Finance, Canada)..... so my answer is really IT DEPENDS..... :-)
Discussion
Thank you for your replies, I really appreciate your help, however I doubt that any of your answers really fits here.
Giusy, I think you got closer to the point than the others, but it seems a higher and more important position than "funzionario direttivo" which is a general name for a civil servant in the PA with administration tasks.
So Emiliano, "leading civil servant" is close but too generic in my opinion.
Lorraine, the Ministry is Finance and the country is Italy. Anyway, the names of positions you provided are very different from each other and very specific, "funzionario direttivo apicale" instead is a generic name for a position in the PA (at national, regional, provincial level)
Thanks to all of you.
What do you think of "Senior Executive Civil Servant"??
I 'd be glad if you want to make a further effort and give advice on this.
