Don’t change your title on your resume/linkedin..
Coach
Ok I’ll take that advice. I just want to know if it’s something that’s better for us or not. But I guess we will see.
Job titles don’t really matter, but your duties and responsibilities do
Coach
True. There’s just some other lower positions that sound almost the same. And now we’re probably going to do less project support. But I guess I’m fine with that part.
My company is in the middle of doing the same thing to several different groups. There are so many reasons:
- to align similar roles with titles so they can create job descriptions (we do not currently have any)
- differences in pay, they want to create an acceptable range to allow hiring to occur with fewer approval loopholes
- within the payroll system, they want to create automated hierarchy workflows, and they are using job titles rather than individual people to make changes and updates more straight forward.
- they are also using this as a way to staff and show where the open positions are and where overstaffing is.
There are so many reasons, I think for you should ask why, and ask for a copy of the job description to make sure it aligns with what you do. Also, I think Sr Service Operations Specialists sounds way more prestigious than Business Analyst. When looking at future roles, check out the job description and qualifications rather than the job title. And, try to remember that not everything is black and white.

It’s just easier black and white. But you are correct!!!!! Thank you for the insight. My boss did explain it was to align with titles in similar roles. She hasn’t sent the new job description yet tho. We’re waiting.
Just don’t update your title on your resume or LinkedIn. Or update it and make it look like a promotion.

Hmmmm interesting approach. I like it! Thx
