Interpreter-guide; Interpreter and (cultural/scientific/commercial.....) advisor


Explanation:
Почему Вы все решили, что это письменный переводчик
Есть еще и такие варианты
Мне приходилось выполнять такие функции.

neutral  Yakov Tomara: все решили, что это письменный переводчик, т.к. это офиц. название специальности, которая предусматривает в 1-ю очередь письм. переводы

Executive Translator/Interpreter


Explanation:
Мое предложение. Дело в том, что "референт" обычно добавляется в должности, чтобы они звучали более значительно, типа секретарь-референт и пр. Вот, с executive будет звучать очень даже солидно:)
