I'm having a few problems with the translation of "in quanto funzione consulenziale della stessa. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

consulting role/function


Explanation:
I don't see any problem with a fairly direct translation. I guess the underlying meaning is that the role in question is part of an internal consulting function and reports up to General Management giving advice etc. For this reason the person in that role doesn't have people that report up into his/her position.

Example sentence(s):
  • It is not a shared service function. It is a consulting function.
