Though she's never actually referred to as (say) Junior Minister or even
Deputy Minister.

Compare Fudge who describes himself as having been Junior Minister at the
time of Sirius's arrest.

I think that if Dolly had been that high up she'd have referred to it,
especially given her chronic hubris as OoP progresses.

She was I think ambitious in the extreme and had hitched her wagon to Fudge
and certainly potentially could have got a lot further up the greasy pole of
power, had she not overreached herself.
