I'm not sure where to ask this, and I'm cross-posting from the A/T Career Advice thread. I will remove if it doesn't belong here: I work for an enterprise software company that has been in business for about 5 years and are currently growing out of the "Start Up" mentality. We have a core software product that is an electronic medical records system that integrates medical charting, prescription pads, pharmacy communication, med tracking, patient tracking, rounds and a bunch of poo poo. Its scaleable from single doctor general practice to large nation-wide hospitals. I started in implementation for them and was responsible from taking a new client from sales, structuring their chart, customizing the software and teaching all the doctors, nurses and staff what buttons to press. There is a new software product we are adding to our enterprise offering that is a client relationship management software with a bit of marketing stuff tacked on (Tracking ad campagins/dollars per admit/providing basic business intelligence). My COO and CTO approached me and asked me to join the team in an undetermined role and for a salary increase in june/july if i demonstrate aptitude. I pushed back on this and they gave me a bonus with a salary negotiation in June. The structure is CTO of the core product and company, SVP Product Manager/Owner, me, and than i got a team of 4 running basic configuration and doing monkey level data entry (user profiles, security roles, sending invites). I got the team 3 weeks ago after being just me and working like 15 hours a day and bitching to my COO about the product failing due to lovely resource allocation. I am responsible for some sales demos, implementation, project management, end user training and communicating customer requests to the dev team. I also am in the stand up meeting for the dev team every morning at 9am (They are remote a few states away), and write user stories and bugs in Visual Studios. I do NOT code at all apart from some basic ruby on rails web manipulation poo poo for the core product to automate lovely boring tasks. I am also part of the bi-weekly sprint planning meetings and architecture meetings where i do voice an opinion on either poo poo i care about, the customer cares about or if i understand something. Among a whole host of questions I have involving like salary, I would first like to ask what do you guys think an appropriate title to ask for is? I am a senior implementation specialist now, and Enterprise Implementation Specialist or Manager would work and seem to be natural (I am the only one in the ENTIRE Company that can implement the CRM and the core EMR product. I am the only who knows the CRM apart from the SVP) but I was wondering if pivoting my resume into some sort of Product Manager role may be better for me and sound more impressive? I feel like thats a harder, better title than enterprise implementation manager. I Feel like i def want manager in it somewhere....

Consider carefully why you felt like an rear end in a top hat. Were you presumptuous and came off holier than thou, or was the interviewer obstinate and difficult to get through to. I've had both and if it's the latter, I stop feeling so bad when I conclude that I wouldn't want to work that guy.

In reality you'll be screaming at developers 90% of the time because they broke the build.
