A job is at stake (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

post

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'a job' is the first definition.
(I know that post is a type of job)

'at stake' is the second definition.
'post' can be an answer for 'stake' (synonyms). I'm unsure of the 'at' bit.

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for post that I've seen before include "delivery" , "Leave message online" , "Mail; office" , "Contribute online" , "(Holiday) communication" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
