ambassadorships
Foreign representative positions
Ambassadorships are positions as ambassador—the highest-ranking diplomatic representative a country sends to another.
The term often appears in political contexts, where ambassadorships are sometimes awarded to major campaign donors rather than career diplomats: He secured an ambassadorship to France after raising millions for the campaign.
