Title: New Job Title???
Post by: bellajgw on May 21, 2008, 09:37:57 pm
I've been with the same company for over a year and a half and my second review is coming up next month.  Last year they raved about my work and gave me a 5% raise.  This year I'm hoping for a raise AND promotion.  It's not that I'm greedy, I'm just doing three jobs at once now and can't juggle it all.  I'm trying to find an appropriate title for what I could continue to do (assuming I get promoted and they hire a receptionist or secretary to take over the receptionist and basic admin stuff).
Things I'm working on continuously:

Creating Marketing campaigns
Communicating with clients
In charge of the client management system
Now in charge of creating a documentation stragety and policy
Going to be in charge of the new SharePoint document system as well as data migration
Proofreading all proposals prior to delivery
Management of the contract process, execution and announcement
Weekly newsletter creation
Proofread and make adjustments to Monthly Network Systems Support Reports to 10 biggest clients
Event management (internal and external)
Facility management
Creating and executing teambuilding exercises and days out
Creating and managing first ever intern program
Finding and tracking continuing education training options for employees
Manage the company phone system/server/training
Assisting Consultants with various projects as needed

Currently my title is Office Administrator and I work the reception desk.  My job description does NOT include about 70% of what is above and is really that of a general office admin person (supplies, phones, greeting, kitchen, copying, etc).  I have a bachelor's degree, have managed people before, and am plenty qualified to do all the above....I just don't know what you would call that position.
It's not really marketing, it's sort of operations, sort of client communications, it's a hodge-podge of a group of different jobs.   (We're a small company that is growing rapidly in number of clients and work, just not employees to compensate, so everyone wears a lot of hats)  I want to grow and stay with the company but I just can't do all my work AND have the basic admin duties.

So what is my title????  Any suggestions are helpful.

Sounds like my job some days.  

Administration Manager would be a better description.

Like Gee, the first thing I thought of was Administration Manager and having had a look through the list again a lot of the work is communications so maybe Communications Administrator/Co-ordinator/Manager (delete as appropriate ;) )

Depending on the weight of the various tasks, I'd say Communcations Manager or Communications Operations Manager or some combination.  This sounds much more like a managerial position that it does a support position.

Thanks everyone, those are some really great ideas!  I think I'd have to skip over Administrative Manager as my manager is the Finance & Administration Manager and he may not care for the title...a little too close to home.  

I do like the Communications Manager, or Coordinator...my degree is in Mass Communications so that could work.

Thanks you guys!

Sounds like a Marketing Coordinator to me.
