Which is not a position that chaucer held in his lifetime? civil servant diplomat novelist comptroller?

I believe the answer is: Novelist

Even though Chaucer was known as the father of english literature, all of his works was in the form of poets rather than novels.
He kept the job as civil servant,  diplomat , and comptroller since writing poets do not necessarily provided the writers with enough economic incentives.
