I've always felt titles are fairly unimportant, but I have to get new business cards, so once I make this decision, it's going to be in print 5,000 times.
After a number of years as Director of Client Services, now I've been officially promoted to..... I don't know what. The COO has basically left it to me to be called whatever I want. Here are the pertinent details as briefly as possible. We're a manufacturing, packaging, and logistics facility. Most familiar with the business would know us as a co-packer. The structure in here now if that we have a COO, who runs the day to day and reports to our parent company in NJ. Below him is the CFO, the VP of Operations, who oversees the physical manufacturing, packaging, and warehouse, and me. The VP of ____________________. I'm in direct charge of customer service, purchasing, IT, pricing, margin analysis, and shipping/logistics. Basically all things back office. I used to have two counterparts covering different areas, then 1, now I've absorbed them all. I'm like The Blob. I'm the contact name given if the COO is out of office, essentially his #2. Uh huh huh huh.
SO, WTF do I put on my business cards? Also, what title goes the farthest on a resume in case I ever need to move or find a new job? I thought about VP of Supply Chain, but that doesn't cover it all. Neither does VP of Client Services. I've seen a few "VP of Back Office Operations" online, but that feels wordy and kind of lame to me. VP of Operations is so clean and tidy, but taken.
Any suggestions? Either serious or with the word Schvantz worked in somewhere.
