Undersecretary

[zanooda2]

OK, I need to ask one more translation-related question before everybody starts writing about the movie :-). Can anyone explain better than the dictionary what Umbridge's job is :-)? It is called "Senior Undersecretary to the Minister". I looked up "undersecretary", but "senior" confuses me a little. Can there be a "junior undersecretary" then? What exactly is Umbridge's position, especially from the British point of view? I believe Geoff is on vacation, but maybe someone else knows this.
