LOL. Did you? For real? He is an OK actor as far as Indian film industry is concerned.

You mistake me for someone who would foolishly put themselves in a position of being out of reds.

The bank where i work is having a re-org, and I need to choose a title for myself
My current title is "Senior IT support", where i get to handle tickets, either directly by development or by assigning tickets to vendors.
My new responsibilities are the following:
1. Working exclusively on ongoing projects, no support. (Yay! )
2. No internal development, all projects assigned to vendors, closed box with no source code. (Boo )
3. Handling all technical aspects of new and ongoing projects (technical review, deployment, testing, giving feedback to PMs, etc.)
The following titles are initially rejected during brainstorming with my team members:
1. Software Developer (no development going on!)
2. IT Consultant (rejected since we are the on the client side (Que unfunny puns))
3. The Man (i thought it was good)
4. IT Specialist (too broad)
5. IT Architect (invalid since the vendor will usually architect the system, we only review)
6. IT Analyst (implies you are doing analysis most of the time, while most of our work will be review, implementation and testing.
So what do you call a software developer, that doesn't do any development, is involved in the technical aspect of projects and is on the receiving end of projects ?

Seems to me like it has an abstract keyword appended to it. You're not having any thing to do, but still you're the base for doing everything. Wow!

How about "The idiot who claims to know everything but is always busy for work."?
I want that as my title, FFS.

Everything sounds better with the word 'President' in it! But your colleagues will probably shoot down 'President (or Vice President) of Information Management Systems.'

I work for a bank who did EXACTLY what yours is doing in the 90s, The absolutely WORST decision they have made in IT. Look for another employer, you will not be happy overseeing vendors unless you have a bent for it (management bleh).
A bank, or any large organisation needs internal developers, they MUST retain the IP to the system they are reliant on, not necessarily the big, core systems but the small gluey ones that make them unique, reporting and analysis mostly. These must be handled internally.

Probably The Man.
Or the Project Trampoline.

You are missing Ace of Spades on your list
Anyway, I would go with something that has 'implementation' in its name.
Most probably 'Implementation Officer' (or even Manager, depending on whether you have or have not the decision making power).
'System Analyst' does not sound that bad either.
I saw some companies call similar people 'Product managers'...

May consider some religious terms: IT overseer, IT elder, IT bishop...
IT project manager may be ok.

Ive been given many titles in my 35+ yr it career on my business cards (when I was a wage slave), but when people ask 'what do you do' I always reply 'Computer programmer' (even though I do a lot more) coz most people have an idea what you mean, and it isn't as pretentions as some of the titles people give themselves. I had a self employed acquaintance who introduced himself as an 'IT director' for instance, or know salesmen who call themselves 'Business developers' when they mainly box-shift. (think of bin men calling themselves 'waste disposal technicians'). I think in your case 'IT Systems Analyst' has the right feeling and gets the message across. GL

Geek
probably though, Program Manager or Project Manager/Technology Implementation
AS someone else mentioned. If you are a programmer by heart. Start looking
To err is human to really mess up you need a computer

Sounds like a project manager to me.
|
|
|
|
|
Project Coordinator; or something with "Quality Assurance" in it.
|
|
|
|
|
To me, it sounds like the Scrum role, Product(s) Owner.
Owners get paid a lot, right?
|
|
|
|
|
As an "owner", I would not put up with any of this nonsense.
