Japanese to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Marketing / Market Research | | Japanese term or phrase: 幹部職 | | I am quite perplexed on how to translate this term. Initially, I translated 幹部職 to "manager". However, in the same document, I encountered 部門管理者 which I translated to "department manager". Now I wonder, which of the two has a higher rank, and if I should render 幹部職 as "division manager" or "group leader" in relation to 部門管理者. |
