Male supervisor in favour of elevated title (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foreman

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

'in favour of elevated title' is the wordplay.
'in favour' becomes 'for' (I've seen this before).
'of elevated' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'elevated' mean this).
'title' becomes 'name' (I've seen this before).
'name' backwards is 'eman'.
'for'+'eman'='FOREMAN'

(Other definitions for foreman that I've seen before include "Fellow in charge" , "Charge hand" , "Gaffer, boss" , "Male supervisor" , "spokesman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
