Just got a head of planning role and have been asked what I want for a title.

What are planning department heads called these days?

Executive Planning Director?
Something Strategy?
Planning Poobah?

I asked for and had Head of Planning as a title. I wanted to be able to hire directors and it was easier to create distinction that way. And then no one gets cranky about having executive or c-suite in your title but it’s clear you run the department.

If there is no CSO and your responsibilities are that of a CSO then yes ask for that.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!
