Business/Commerce (general)
I'm not sure if it is the right word. How do you call an executive with the power equal (or nearly equal) to the members of the management board, but who is not a member of the board? This person is a senior executive and is authorised to sign quite important contracts (make commitments on behalf of the company).
English-Polish legal dictionary gives a selection: appointed agent, authorised agent, signing clerk, authorised clerk, confidential clerk, authorised manager, managing clerk, head clerk, procurator. Which one is the most often used in this meaning? In PL-EN Kudoz it is procurator, but I couldn't find any web reference though I have found a lot about ancient Roman procurators or church procurators but its not the same.

authorised (executive) manager
I would go for this option, you could include executive if you like; but maybe you can just leave the full sentence as you described yourself ("He is a senior executive, and is.........")

Comment: "Thanks everybody for the feedback. I think "procurator" may be correct, but rather rare and authorised manager should give the right meaning."
