现在的苦逼程序猿要没有一两个响亮的头衔，都不好意思在IT圈里混。各种奇葩头衔也因此应运而生，比如IOS忍者、Java武士、脚本大师等等。现在哪个圈内人还不认识一两个“创新向导”呢？

诸如此类的奇葩头衔到处都有，科技界尤其是重灾区。

从“数字先知”到“首席麻烦制造官”，现在我们就为大家盘点一下最奇葩的头衔。

1、首席口味官

公司：Bai Brands

贾斯汀·汀布莱克是个拿奖拿到手软、头衔多到令人发指的音乐人兼演员，不过有一个头衔他直到2016年才拿到——今年10月，汀布莱克正式成为Bai Brands公司的首位“首席口味官”。他将帮助这家饮料公司开发新的口味和产品。

2、卓越研究银河总督

公司：微软

描述：这个霸气侧漏并透着浓浓星战味儿的头衔是微软公司为从事云计算相关研究的人准备的。目前这个职位被一个叫詹姆斯·米肯斯的人占据着，这位老兄人送绰号“计算机科学界的勒布朗·詹姆斯”，他的研究主要集中在如何提高网络应用的质量。不过从他的领英账户来看，目前米肯斯还有一个比较常规的头衔——哈佛大学副教授。

3、时尚传播官

公司：Tumblr

描述：如果你有了这样一个头衔，你的Tumblr页面贴满了你在各种高大上的地方拍的文艺照片，自然也是应有之义。目前在Tumblr公司干这份工作的人叫瓦伦丁·尤霍夫斯基，其职责是与各路博主、设计师和时尚品牌进行合作，其中就包括Vera Wang和Calvin Klein这种国际大牌。

4、首席偏执狂

公司：雅虎

描述：老实说，“首席偏执狂”听起来要比“首席信息安全官”狂拽帅酷多了。而且它也讲得通：雅虎的整个网络安全部门都是出了名的“偏执狂”。

5、常驻黑客

公司：领英

描述：马修·舒普在领英的第一个头衔平平无奇——“技术营销员”。但当他在公司举办的“黑客日”活动中取得优胜之后，他的头衔就成了“常驻黑客”。他的工作包括创建内部工具的原型产品，并将其变成最终产品。现在舒普已经从领英离职，不知道这个职位现在是不是还在招人。

6、内部哲学家

公司：谷歌

描述：这个头衔说明学哲学的你也是能在谷歌找到工作的。尽管谷歌是搜索巨头，但碰到解答不了的问题时，它也得请高人指点迷津。“内部哲学家”的工作就是要用“人文主义的视角”来解决一些工程问题。

7、培根评论员

公司：时代公司。（时代公司也是《财富》的母公司）

描述：你没看错。时代公司旗下品牌Extra Crispy还真的雇了个人来品评培根。目前这个位子已经有人了，而且这家伙的工作态度也很端正——他在一个月里已经试吃了用31种动物肉制成的培根。

8、声音设计导演

公司：Facebook

描述：光听这个头衔的名字，你可能并不会觉得奇怪，但你要知道，这个头衔居然是由Facebook公司提供的。声音设计导演主要负责创建各种叮叮当当的声音，也就是你在刷Facebook时听到的各种提示音。

9、首席麻烦制造者

公司：Matrix Group

描述：CEO这个头衔听起来太无趣了，为啥不给它加点料呢？因此，网页设计公司Matrix Group乔安娜·皮内达自封为该公司的“首席麻烦制造者”，而且她也忠实地履行了这份职责。她在2004年接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时曾表示：“我经常会制造麻烦。比如我经常会跟一个项目组说：‘我们重来一次怎么样？’我希望人们能在办公室里亲切地称呼我这个头衔。”

10、行政大师

公司：弗吉尼亚梅森医院

描述：根据弗吉尼亚梅森医院最近发布在招聘网站Monster.com上的广告，要想在该院当一名“行政大师”，你需要有10年以上的领导经验及相关行政辅导经历。“行政大师”的职责是协助进行客户支持，并且管理该公司的商业业务。

11、数字先知

公司：美国在线(AOL)

描述：大卫·成是AOL公司的“数字先知”。这个头衔让他感到十分骄傲，他甚至给自己做了个名片，里边有一块嵌入的微芯片，写着“数字先知，AOL”。据报道，AOL每年付给他六位数的薪水，来观察“未来是怎样在广泛的网络格局上形成的”。

12、首席讲故事官

公司：微软

描述：微软“首席讲故事官”并不负责销售任何产品——他真的就是个讲故事的，主要负责“通过故事改变人们对微软的认知。”这些故事可能是通过博客、照片、动画片，也可能是通过主题演讲或各类活动讲述的。

13、粘土建模大师

公司：福特

描述：这个工作头衔可谓名符其实。福特每推出一款新车型，粘土建模大师就要用粘土塑造一个1:1比例的模型，然后一直修改到最终定型。这个过程最长可能要持续两年。

14、首席传播员

公司：Clever

描述：听到这个头衔，你可能会感到好奇：“首席传播员”是传播啥的？当然是传播她的公司的。斯蒂芬妮娅·旁波尼是一家影响力营销公司Clever的创始人兼“首席传播员”。她的工作就是“在一切场合宣传我们的行业领导力、专业知识和创新能力”。

15、首席执行独角兽

公司：PowToon

描述：虽说市面上的独角兽（指估值10亿美元以上的创业公司）并不多，但是DIY动画视频制作平台PowToon公司里却有一只。该公司CEO伊利娅·斯皮塔尼克自封为“首席执行独角兽”(CEU)，不过最近她的头衔貌似又改成了“首席半路出家科学家”。

16、首席心脏官

公司：VaynerMedia

描述：数字公司VaynerMedia将人力资源主管的角色定位得非常私人化。这位人力资源主管要经常通过一对一会面、短信、电子邮件和电话等方式联系员工。该公司“首席心脏官”克劳德·西尔弗今年八月曾表示：“今天我要与15到20个人进行一对一会面。等到我早上9点到办公室时，我可能也已经发了将近20条的短信，好让人们知道我在想着他们。”

17、披萨学院院长

公司：必胜客

描述：如果你当了必胜客的披萨学院院长，懂战略、懂领导艺术当然也是很重要的，但基本功也同样很重要。因为你要对必胜客的经理们进行培训，培训内容包括如何正确地切披萨以及将披萨放到盒子里。

18、首席试玩官

公司：玩具反斗城

描述：每年加拿大的玩具企业玩具反斗城（Toys “R” Us）都会招聘“专人”，对即将上架的所有热门玩具进行试玩和评测。当12岁的埃米尔·伯比奇听说他得到了这份工作后，他兴奋地表示，这一定是“世界上最酷的工作”了。

19、快乐英雄

公司：Buffer

描述：如果有个人拥有软件即服务(SaaS)领域的工作经验，能够替你检测Bug并且解决技术问题，那么你该怎样称呼他呢？在社交媒体营销公司Buffer，这种人才被称为“快乐英雄”。该公司在招聘广告中写道：“归根结底，我们认为，快速、全面、私人化的回复会令人快乐。”

20、首席收藏家

公司：eBay

描述：你可能想问，eBay雇收藏家有什么用？2013年，eBay公司聘请了200名“收藏家”，也就是所谓的“网红”和“达人”，好让粉丝们看到他们最近在eBay上收藏的商品。“首席收藏家”们的主要职责就是在主页上展示商品。 （财富中文网）

It seems like no one is just a plain old developer anymore. Instead, they’re an IOS ninja, a java jedi, or a scripting guru. And let’s be honest, we all know an “innovation sherpa” or two.

We see these kinds of titles all the time, especially in the tech world.

From digital prophets to chief troublemakers, here they are in all their glory.

1.Chief Flavor Officer

Company: Bai Brands

Well, there’s one title that award-winning musician and actor Justin Timberlake didn’t have until 2016 — CFO. In October, Timberlake became Bai Brands’ first chief flavor officer. In other words, he’ll help the beverage company launch products and develop new flavors.

2. Galactic Viceroy of Research Excellence

Company: Microsoft

Description: Here’s a sexy title for a job that means you do cloud-related research for Microsoft. This role was occupied by James Mickens, also referred to as the “LeBron James of Computer Science.” Much of his research focused on improving the quality of web applications. Today, Mickens has a very regular title: associate professor at Harvard University, according to his LinkedIn profile.

3. Fashion Evangelist

Company: Tumblr

Description: Having a Tumblr page featuring artsy shots in exotic places is par for the course when you have a job title like this. In the role is Valentine Uhovski, whose responsibilities include partnering with bloggers, designers and fashion brands, like Vera Wang and Calvin Klein.

4. Paranoid In Chief

Company: Yahoo

Description: Let’s be honest — Paranoid in chief sounds much more intriguing than plain old “chief information security officer.” And it makes sense: Yahoo’s entire cybersecurity division is known as “the Paranoids.”

5. Hacker-in-Residence

Company: LinkedIn

Description: Matthew Shoup’s first title at LinkedIn was nothing out of the ordinary: “technical marketer.” But when Shoup started winning the company’s hack days, his role transformed into “hacker in residence.” His role included creating prototypes for internal tools and turning designs into products. Shoup is no longer at LinkedIn, but it’s unclear if his role is up for grabs.

6. In-House Philosopher

Company: Google

Description: This title is proof that your philosophy degree could land you a job at Google. Even the search giant needs someone to turn to when it has a question. The company literally employed someone whose job is to solve engineering problems using “a humanistic perspective.”

7. Bacon Critic

Company: Time Inc. (Disclosure: Time Inc is also the parent company of Fortune)

Description: Yep, you read that right. Time Inc.’s brand, Extra Crispy, actually hired someone to critique bacon. Though the job has been filled, the candidate seems pretty qualified — he has eaten 31 different animals in the span of a month. We’ll leave it at that.

8. Director of Sound Design

Company: Facebook

Description: This doesn’t sound like such an odd title until you consider that it’s at Facebook. The director of sound design is responsible for creating all the “pop ding” and “pop om” sounds you hear when you receive a notification on your Facebook feed.

9. Chief Troublemaker

Company: Matrix Group

Description: When the CEO title doesn’t sound fun enough, why not spice it up? Founder and chief troublemaker Joanna Pineda takes her title very seriously at the web design agency she founded. “I make trouble,” she told the Washington Post back in 2004. “I’ll walk into a project and I’ll say, ‘What if we start over?’ I hope that people use the title affectionately around the office.”

10. Executive Sensei

Company: Virginia Mason Medical

Description: You’ll need a master’s degree, 10 years of leadership experience and some executive coaching to qualify as an “executive sensei,” according to Virginia Mason Medical’s recent posting on hiring site Monster.com. The sensei will help support clients and manage the business aspects of the company.

11. Digital Prophet

Company: AOL

Description: David Shing, or “Shingy,” is so proud of his title that he has a business card with an embedded microchip that reads “Digital Prophet, AOL.” The company reportedly pays him six figures to watch “the future take shape across the vast online landscape.”

12. Chief Storyteller

Company: Microsoft

Description: Microsoft’s “chief storyteller” doesn’t sell anything — he literally just tells stories. This person is responsible for “changing the perception of Microsoft through stories.” Those stories can be told through blogs, photos, cartoons, keynotes, and events.

13. Master Clay Modeler

Company: Ford

Description: This job title actually lives up to its hype. For each new car that Ford rolls out, clay modelers build several full-size clay iterations until they refine it to its final model. The process can take up to two years.

14. Chief Evangelist

Company: Clever

Description: You might be wondering – “chief evangelist” of what? Well, of her company. Stefania Pomponi is the co-founder and chief evangelist of her influencer marketing agency, and her job is literally to “promote our industry leadership, expertise, and innovation anywhere and everywhere I can.”

15. Chief Executive Unicorn

Company: PowToon

Description: Because there aren’t enough unicorns, there’s one over at PowToon as well. Ilya Spitalnik is CEO (or CEU) of the company that sells software to make animated explainer videos. However, it looks like Spitalnik may have recently changed his title to “Chief Renegade Scientist.”

16. Chief Heart Officer

Company: VaynerMedia

Description: Digital agency VaynerMedia is making the HR director role super personal. They’ve hired someone who constantly reaches out to employees through one-on-one meetings, text messages, emails, and phone calls. “Today, my day will be made up of 15 to 20 one-on-ones,” CHO Claude Silver said in August. “And by the time I get to the office at 9 a.m. I will have probably already sent out just as many different text messages, so people know I am thinking about them.”

17. Dean of Pizza

Company: Pizza Hut

Description: When you’re the dean of pizza, strategy and leadership are important, but so are the basics. This role requires training Pizza Hut managers on how to properly cut and place the pizza in the box.

18. Chief Play Officer

Company: Toys “R” Us

Description: Each year, Toys “R” Us, Canada, hires a qualified candidate to play with and review all the hottest new toys before they’ve hit the shelves. When 12-year-old Émile Burbidge found out he got the job, he said he knew it would be the “coolest job in the world.”

19. Happiness Hero

Company: Buffer

Description: What do you call someone who has experience in a SaaS environment and can troubleshoot bugs and solve technical issues? A happiness hero, according to social media marketing company Buffer. “At the core, we believe that fast, comprehensive, and personal replies inherently make people happy,” reads the job listing.

20. Chief Curator

Company: eBay

Description: You might be wondering what there is to curate at eBay? In 2013, the company hired 200 curators, or “tastemakers and well-known people who users can follow to see their latest product selections.” The chief curator is responsible for featuring products on the homepage.
