I work for a large, privately owned mortgage company. I’ve announced my intention to my bosses to move out of state within a year, and though they don’t want me to go, they are supportive of my decision to move back to my hometown. At the same time, my boss was recently promoted to VP of Branch Operations, effectively moving him out of the IT Dept and into broader roles. Aside from him, there’s me, and a network tech. They wanted to give me the position of IT Manager but in light of my intentions to move they’ve decided not to do that, and instead blend the IT into the other support department. I know this sounds weird to a lot of you but in this situation even I don’t think it’s unreasonable given the similarity in duties. The issue now is that they still want to give me a better title than Web Developer, so that I can put that on my resume when I search for a job back home. They want to give me a title that implies my leadership roles but doesn’t explicitly put me on a manager level, so no terms like Director. Some terms we’ve tossed around are supervisor, senior, lead, such as Creative Lead, or Lead Developer. What are some suggestions you have for a kickass title that shows I’ve asserted leadership but doesn’t make me have to wear a suit on Mondays and attend the corporate meetings? 🙂
