"Junior Assistant Vice-Dean" (or variants thereof) in academia. Those mostly exist to give a pay boost to administrators who've otherwise maxed out on pay.

I recall that my undergrad institution once invented a new deanship out of whole cloth for a coach who'd maxed out on the "professor" pay scale.

Even worse, the bastard didn't even win games!
