I’ve been writing a lot about job titles lately (see Ongig’s Job Titles: The Definitive Guide). As part of that journey, I’ve run across some funny job titles. There are numerous creative job titles for every department and position.

In today’s competitive job market, companies are finding unique ways to stand out by creating imaginative job titles that add a touch of humor to their workplace culture. These creative titles serve as conversation starters and enhance personal brands, offering a whimsical glimpse into the roles they represent. From the Vice President of First Impressions to a Member of the Cast in retail environments, these titles are becoming a norm across various industries. This trend not only reflects the evolving world of work but also showcases a company’s unique culture and sense of humor. So I thought I’d put these cool job titles here into one list.

Warning: there are some weird job titles, some cute titles, some badass titles, and some very impressive titles. Some might be fake (but still funny). I’ve done my best to list these witty job titles by department/position.

Enjoy!
