Box Checker
A person who achieves a desired position due to one or more nonjob competency related criteria. The organization may deem that the criteria helps their public or other social favorability. I.E. the candidate "checks the box". This term and related policy has become more frequently used in politics and in very large public or private companies, to not infrequent embarrassing ends, since a more competent applicant would have been overlooked in favor of a box checker.
The public affairs spokesperson frequently misspeaks and typically does not have answers for easy questions. It looks like they were hired a a box checker for their position.
