Italian term or phrase: lavoratore d'assalto
The definition is: è incluso in un target maschile di buon profilo, con reddito e istruzione medio-alti, completamente votato al successo (soprattutto in termini di denaro), trasversalmente collocato sul territorio italiano (in centri variegati per dimensione) e con un età dai 24 ai 45 anni. Sono imprenditori e dirigenti, hanno grande progettualità lavorativa ma minore progettualità culturale, anche se i loro interessi culturali sono sopra la media. Alta la partecipazione politica, il loro hobby principale è lo sport. I consumi nono sono particolarmente marcati in qualche modo.

I am looking for an equal term in english, but I don't know if one exists.
If you translate it literally it would be something like unbridled professional or unrestricted professional but they aren't really recognized terms in marketing. Are they?

yuppie


Explanation:
it was the first thing that came to my mind as I read your description, I think it fits perfectly, I'm just afraid it might have a negative undertone (or is it just me?)

Asker: thanks. I think it fits the description, although yuppies can be either sex, no?
