I don't actually have one, and all that's coming to mind is Office Bitch. It's a company of 15 people and the general atmosphere whenever the owner/CEO is around is distinctly frat house, so a job description was a formality that we never got around to.

I was hired because I knew someone there and they knew that the accountant and office manager needed a hand and that I could handle data entry. Since then I've done everything from auditing our inventory list in Quickbooks to delivering orders for customers in our metro area to picking up job supplies from Lowe's. I take on (70%) and am given (30%) weird improvement projects that would have been done a long time ago except they weren't mission critical or any one person's problem, but mostly I do whatever needs doing at the time. When the network goes out or a shithead calls "Microsoft Support" because a popup told him to, they call me. When they need fillable PDF forms or an idiot-proof graphical training sheet, I make it. When they need another body in the warehouse to get the orders out on time, they call me.

Office Bitch? Solutions Engineer? What's something meaningful I can tell someone in a semi-formal atmosphere?

Executive Corporate Solution Manager. I am basing this on the titles our sales people get to makeup.

Support Specialist. Back in the day I put my time at McDonald's down as Rapid Cuisine Preparation Engineer, so have fun with whatever title you give yourself.

All these replies are accurate, but I like this one best.

Oh I know I could make something up, but I'd like to be able to look someone in the eye and keep a straight face when I tell them what I do.

Try it, it works.

"I need this right away."
"I'll assign it to the Handsome Lad. Ruptga, get in here."

Projects & Support specialist actually sounds very accurate..

However, I would go with: "Mr Smartypants"
