A bureaucrat is a member of a bureaucracy, usually within an institution of the government.

The term "bureaucrat" today has largely negative connotations, so those who are the members of a governmental bureaucracy usually prefer terms such as civil servant or public servant to describe their jobs.

Bureaucrat jobs are usually "desk jobs," often of a clerical or organizational nature.

Max Weber definition of a bureaucratic official:

A bureaucratic official:

is personally free and appointed to his position on the basis of conduct
he exercises the authority delegated to him in accordance with impersonal rules, and his loyalty is enlisted on behalf of the faithful execution of his official duties
his appointment and job placement are dependent upon his technical qualifications
his administrative work is a full-time occupation
his work is rewarded by a regular salary and prospects of advancement in a lifetime career

An official must exercise his judgment and his skills, but his duty is to place these at the service of a higher authority; ultimately he is responsible only for the impartial execution of assigned tasks and must sacrifice his personal judgment if it runs counter to his official duties.
