Titles for Consultants?
Title: Titles for Consultants?In my company, Technical Communicators are consultants.
As a result, we present and bill ourselves to our clients as Technical Communications Consultants.
However, we fulfill one of two very different consulting roles.
- We serve as Information Product Developers and Usability Consultants. In this capacity, we produce user manuals, online help, CBTs, etc. from scratch to accompany proprietary applications.
- We serve as Project Documentation Specialists. In this capacity, we are responsible for contributing to/editing Functional Requirements, Specs, and other project deliverables. We are also responsible for document management, which includes electronically filing, storing, and organizing the docs for a project so that they can be easily referenced by customers and technicians.
The problem is this. I need to develop two very different titles for these two very different roles, so that sales and our clients can differentiate. I thought of Information Product Developer and Project Documentation Specialist. Are these intuitive and descriptive enough? Does anyone have any other ideas?
