Notice trim rations upset manager (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

administrator

'manager' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'notice trim rations upset' is the wordplay.
'notice' becomes 'ad' (both can mean an advertisement).
'upset' is an anagram indicator.
'trim'+'rations'='trimrations'
'trimrations' with letters rearranged gives 'ministrator'.
'ad'+'ministrator'='ADMINISTRATOR'

(Other definitions for administrator that I've seen before include "Runner" , "Business organiser" , "Official organiser" , "One who manages or directs" , "Executive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
