I want to describe: a job-position that is given to someone as a way to appease the person, but the position holds no real function.
Context:
He was, due to his importance to the secret project, offered an honorary ____ with disproportionally lucrative payment.
The job is given by the authority to the person as a way to basically bribe him with undeserved salary, because he won't be given any real task. The emphasis here is payment, and not power, so "figurehead" would be inappropriate.

Don't the terms 'honorary' and 'disproportionately lucrative' already convey the idea, even if the blank is filled with something like job or position? Aren't you really seeking a word that would convey this idea by itself, without such qualifications?

Don't the terms 'honorary' and 'disproportionately lucrative' already convey the idea, even if the blank is filled with something like job or position? Aren't you really seeking a word that would convey this idea by itself, without such qualifications?
