I’ve been rewatching Clone Wars lately and realized that the series (by which I mean the Prequel era as a whole, not just CW) is kinda ambiguous about this. Some stories treat him like he’s the ultimate boss of the Order, the one who can pull rank on any other Jedi if needed, and some just treat him like somebody who has to vote with the rest of the Council. At the very least, he and Mace Windu seem to be the ones who hold the most sway and get involved in the most stuff, but I’m not sure if that’s just because they’re more prominent characters than, say, Ki-Adi Mundi or Plo Koon and therefore we get to see more of what they do. Has there ever been an EU or Legends source to clarify what his actual position is?

Yoda is the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order , while Mace Windu is the Master of the Council. It’s like if you had a Council that presents a President and a Chancellor together , so while each had only 1 vote , they also had extra authority and their positions are by-product of the trust they acquired over their careers.
He is often referred to as the Grand Master of the Jedi order, which is a seniority/wise title and head of the order, but there’s also an office of master of the Jedi, who’s the head of the council- this was Mace during the prequels.
He’s the Grand Master of the Jedi order, so he can technically pull rank, though it’d be out of character for yoda. He holds the most sway and importance cause he’s also older than any other Jedi by a lot
