Back when I was an organisation consultant (we're talking dim, we're talking
distant, we're talking a well-paid past, ah well) it was a fun thing to try
and encourage people to create their own job titles. A number of places
allowed you to do so - a few examples in a ??Tom Peters book. I always
remember "Thunder Raving Lizard Evangelist" on one example.

From my memory of dealing with the company, they didn't need to appoint
someone.
