Explanation

In mafia terminology, a 'buttonman' is a soldier or hitman - someone who carries out killings and violent acts for the crime family. The term refers to being 'made' and having the authority to 'press the button' on sanctioned hits. The other options are incorrect - it's not an IT position, lawyer, or clerical role.
