Amtsstellenleiter

English translation: division head/branch manager

German term or phrase: Amtsstellenleiter
No context, I'm afraid, it's just someone's job title from a list of employees of a large agricultural processing company - the context is nothing to do with that person's job, so gives no indication of what they do.
An explanation of the role would be just as helpful as a translation.
TIA!

English translation:division head/branch manager
Explanation:
Very much depends on the organizational structure or context!
e.g. The Arbeiterkammer is regionally organized. The division of workplace safety is likely to have a national A. as well as a Tirol, Voralberg, etc. A.
