Pale second (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

post

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'pale' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'second' is the second definition.
(as in posted or seconded to a job)

(Other definitions for post that I've seen before include "ob" , "Spot the mail" , "delivery" , "Maybe letters" , "Stake, job or mail" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
