Obiajulum Omoregie Head, Project Management Capability Building| Nawah Energy Company Dubai, United Arab Emirates
No i'm not Shakespeare but i'm interested in knowing what unique Project based Job-titles have you come across.

For instance, i never heard of my Job title (Project Management Capability Building) till i applied for the job with Nawah, and then subsequently i saw a similar title in an Irish bank.

What unique job title do you occupy, or have come across. Keep the names coming, and it would be nice to share what the title focuses on.

I'll go First;

Project Management Capability Building Specialist (Reporting to the PMO Manager):

Responsible for the enterprise project management culture. Responsibilities include leadership coaching, employee professional and developmental training, functional and competency maturity assessment, Knowledge management and managing the enterprise community of practice.

I've been an application manager, account manager, implementation manager and enterprise consultant, besides holding the title of project manager. While each job might have had some specific functions, they all more or less revolved around projects and their management.

Not a job title, but the EPMO in my last employer renamed themselves to EDE - Enterprise Delivery Excellence.

I'd also run across the term "transition manager" in one company I worked for which really was equivalent to a program manager.

As with Aruho, I've been a PM, a project technical leader, a lead engineer, lead technical engineer, project engineer, project integration leader, program integration manager (current) and others I have forgotten.

Nothing really esoteric, but after a while you can mix up a lot of the same terms like project, program, engineering, integration, leader, manager... and invent lots of different names, all which do essentially the same thing...lead engineering projects.

Dilbert once had an online buzzword generator that would do the same thing. Does art imitate life, or life imitate art?

ADVERTISEMENTS

"We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again, and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore."

- Mark Twain
