I've always preferred EDI Goddess.  Actually, my favorite was "EDI Technical 
Manager" which meant I got to do all the fun techie stuff and the "EDI Division 
Manager" got to deal with all the personnel "issues".

Really, this is going to be company specific, unless you think you can get your 
company to make up a new title for you.

Check out your own company's hierarchy of titles and descriptions and then fit 
yourself in.

I will probably get some flack for this, as division of duties is greatly 
dependent on industry and size of your company, but server administration 
(especially hardware) is not generally an EDI responsibility.  So you could 
argue for 80% of a Network/Server administrator's pay on top of what you're 
making.

Subject: [EDI-L] <MISC> EDI-related job titles

  
As the season of annual reviews is just around the corner, I was wondering if 
anyone knows of a good resource that would list EDI-related job titles and 
their 
descriptions.  Obviously, I know what my job title is and I know what my job 
duties are, but I'm not 100% sure that my job title is appropriate for all the 
duties I am responsible for. 


My thought (crazy hope) is that if I can argue that my job duties warrant a 
more 
accurate [higher] job description, I might be able to argue a better pay rate, 
too :-)  My current job title is "EDI Coordinator" and I work in an EDI 
department of one (albeit not without some help), in a medium-sized retail 
company.  I handle just about all aspects of the EDI process for my company, 
including any map changes, development projects, trading partner testing, and 
data issue troubleshooting/resolution.  I am about 80% responsible for all 
server administration over our hardware.

I have heard the following job titles used to describe colleagues working in 
this industry, but I'm not sure what the hierarchy is: analyst, coordinator, 
manager, specialist, administrator.  I'm guessing there are also others.  I've 
always felt that a "manager" manages "people" and not "things", so I wouldn't 
consider myself an "EDI Manager".  I also wouldn't feel that I'm an "EDI 
Administrator" until I am 100% responsible for every EDI aspect in my company.  
Of the remaining (and also unknown) job titles, I'm not sure which is "more 
advanced" than the others.

I have checked a few websites for job descriptions, but without being able to 
find one that has all job titles listed, it is difficult to see how they rank 
amongst one another.  Is there an agency or site that would have such 
information?
