head of government level
IMO neutraler als "prime minister", da nicht von der Regierungsform abhängig (prime minister, chancellor, president etc)
2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "I liked the fact that this was a more neutral term, so went with it in the end, but thanks to Erik for his input too."

prime minister level
My take is that it refers to the prime minister (assuming it's national level): at the prime minister's level. (If referring to Germany, then I'd use chancellor's level.) I don't think cabinet is specific enough given the inclusion of Vorsitz in the term.
(If referring to a state or provincial government, "premier's level" would be a good solution, following e.g. Canadian nomenclature.)
