deputy/assistant
Explanation:
Ställföreträdande. It depends on the context, but in the contexts I've seen it used deputy or assistant are the most appropriate. (e.g. Deputy Fire Chief). A person can be "stf" when their immediate superior is still in their position, rather than just "acting" as a replacement. It's the same priciple as in British schools - Head and Deputy Head.

Hmm... that would be principle with an \"n\". Oops.
