article? - 'As spokesman for the organization which represents the interests of the tobacco industry, I cannot let his article go unchallenged.'

As spokesman for the organization which represents the interests of the tobacco industry, I cannot let his article go unchallenged.


Why doesn't there need to be an article before 'spokesman' as in 'as the spokesman' ?

Thank you
