At the beginning of this week, the area around me looked like this:

title case

It’s ironic because it’s in lower case! Get it?! Hahaha!

Ahem.

I need a new title at work. I changed teams and expanded my role, and my current title – which utterly lacks any kind of flair – no longer quite fits. Since I made up that title, I figure I should make up a new one to properly cover all my many many bases – but what to call myself?

My business cards currently state that I am the Technical Trainer and Documentation Specialist of my company. This is incredibly boring, and only a small portion of what I do – I’m also in charge of building our corporate intranet, planning company events, keeping morale up, and any other random project that falls into my lap. I work for the People and Culture team – it’s like HR with party hats – and I can’t for the life of me think of a suitable title for my position that I could actually get away with having in my signature and on business cards.

I was a unique entity when I started this job three years ago, and I’m still unique – no one else does what I do. My job has changed so much in the last while that we’re going to be re-writing my job description in the new year so we can price me at fair market value (yay raise!) .. but I have no idea what we’d call me.

So naturally, I turn to the internet.

Give what I outlined above, what title would you give me? And please, nothing with “Administration” in the title. I’m not admin, goddamnit. Yes, there is some baggage there.
