Burke seems to be a pretty involved guy for Weyland-Yutani Corp. He acts as point of contact/liason with Ripley at Gateway Station, sends a message to the colony on LV-426 to investigate the 'Space Jockey' ship (and seems to have the potential to intercept or interfere with communications, etc between the colony and The Company) and accompanies the Colonial Marines and Ripley to the planet.
What was his actual role for Weyland-Yutani?

I always thought of him as the "on the ground" rep of the Company, making sure the latter's interests are served. I don't know if there's more of a background to the character

We see Carter J. Burke's business card in Aliens. He's
Special Projects Director in the Special Services Division of Weyland Yutani (Space) Corporation.
A high quality replica of the original prop is shown below.
One assumes that he's (partially) responsible for special projects like terraforming planets.
