Usage Note
Oficinista is a common-gender noun — the same form is used for men and women (el/la oficinista). It specifically means someone who works in an office rather than a professional with a specialized title; it is neutral and not derogatory. The word is more common in Latin America; in Spain administrativo or empleado de oficina may be preferred.
Examples
"Trabaja como oficinista en una empresa grande."
Natural Translation
She works as an office clerk in a large company.
