Sounds to me like a remnant from the "new paradigm"
businesses of the dotcom era, and is more likely to
be the creation of the individual rather than the company.
Some tech writer with an inferiority complex about
being called a tech writer took advantage of his/her
employer's willingness to allow people to make up
their own job titles to get cute.
