Job Title question

[donnap99]

Fooling around with ideas for a new title...  my responsibilities boil down to supervision of 2 Support Services Technicians (mailroom, A/V, room set-ups), coordination of facilities, housekeeping, security (granting accesses), parking, conference room use by outside groups, and just a touch of supporting my (now vacant) bossie.



Administrative Supervisor

Administrative Coordinator

Administrative Manager (Manager may be only for Sr. Staff)

Support Services Supervisor (or Coordinator or Manager)



What gives you the impression of a higher level - Supervisor or Coordinator?  Can't decide on that one.

I would go with supervisor or manager. Administrative coordinator and administrative assistant seem to be used interchangeably. Support Services Manager is a mouthful, but that seems to sum up your job pretty well.

Some ideas:



Supervisor - Facilities Coordination

Administrator - Facilities Coordination

Facilities Coordinator

I personally like the coordinator title.  Anybody can be a supervisor (as in "she's my supervisor" or "she's the copy room supervisor"). But to be a coordinator, you would be multi-tasking, or coordinating a lot of efforts for possibly a lot of people.  To me a coordinator not only "supervises" but "directs", "plans", and "participates in" a lot of activities. I'm drawing from my own experience. I was once an Administrative Coordinator for an engineering firm of 60. I supervised a staff of 5 (a receptionist, 2 word processing secretaries, a librarian, and a student clerk) and coordinated the work load for 50 engineers between all 6 of us.  I also reported directly to the 3 principals of the firm, handling all their correspondence, special assignments, etc.  Most days were HECTIC but the title definitely fit the job description.

I'd go with Support Services Coordinator.  It says exactly what your job is unlike the Admin. Asst. title which has become a catch all for all clerical functions.
