For me, a random sales guy took the cake when he introduced himself as “Chief Innovation Evangelist”.
I really want the job of “head receiver,” like Jerry here.
If I remember reading some old Mac magazine correctly, Guy Kawasaki’s official job title at Apple was “Intergalactic Evangelist”.
Futurologist
I know that is used for someone who generally has a good enough grasp on science and technology to make rough approximations of what could happen as those fields progress, but it sounds like a fancy term for a psychic.
I’m switching my LinkedIn title to Futuronomist to avoid this kind of mixup
A good line from a video about a cancelled game jam documentary: “Matti was hired as a Pepsi Consultant, a job title less dignified than Human Trafficker”
“Thinker” is probably the most obnoxious one I’ve heard of, from the CTO of a tech company
I feel like besides being a silly title, I feel like it would rub me the wrong way if I worked at that company with any other title.

An ideas guy with all kinds of ideas.
…most of which are complete shit.
Erection engineer.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Actually i’ve had the rare privilege of working in companies that really valued their employee’s wellbeing. At least for some time. It was a combination of inexperienced founders, really convinced managers, and super enthusiastic investors who didn’t really know how to crack the market so they kind of gave us all freedom to do as we pleased. This was all pre-COVID of course but it was a blast to waste millionaire money for a few years.
I saw a job at an abbatior for a “first boner”. I knew what they meant and it was still funny.
Nobody gonna bring up “fluffer”?
I was a noodle ambassador, once upon a time.
All in a day’s work for a dedicated servant of the Flying Spaghetti Monster 🍜
R’Amen!
Chief Keef.
In my first company an intern that updated our webpage from time to time was our Internet Content Manager.
A former colleague had the title “Project Professional”.
As you can tell, he was good at doing projects, just not at doing anything in those projects.
One of the dispensaries near me has weed consultants called “Rangers.”
So that’s why they call it the Mighty Morphine Power Rangers.
