10 mins confidence:   | cadre supérieur hors position 'without portfolio'?
Explanation:
My hunch is that the 'hors position' relates to the fact that some places employ people at a certain level (the sales manager bit) to work on whatever the latest/most urgent project/area is. With ministers, you get 'ministers without portfolio', i.e. they haven't been permanently allocated a specific responsibility.
