underclerk
Office assistant, subordinate
An underclerk is a clerk subordinate to another clerk, typically performing more routine or junior duties in an office hierarchy: He started as an underclerk in the shipping department.
The term is somewhat dated, reflecting older bureaucratic structures where clerical work had formal ranks.
