Understanding Your Job Title
When we come to work each day, we are powering one of the nation’s top public research universities and collectively contributing to our shared mission to develop leaders who advance technology and improve the human condition. Working at Georgia Tech is much more than a job – it’s a source of pride.
In our emails in December and last week, we discussed job profiles and career levels and the role they play in Georgia Tech’s updated career system. This week, we will discuss job titles in our new career system. Job titles are meaningful as the communicate the role an employee plays for Georgia Tech and the experience they bring to their role.

-
In Georgia Tech’s current approach, the inconsistent use of job titles and levels creates confusion and can contribute to inequity. Job titles with inconsistent responsibilities create barriers for the Institute to quickly respond and adapt to meet its strategic needs.
|
-
Our goal in building the new, comprehensive career system is to create a common framework that allows us to recognize and understand the various jobs and career paths within the Institute and provide transparency to support wage equity. To do this, we must create a consistent approach to all staff jobs which includes a consistent approach to job titles.
|
- A job title reflects the purpose of the role as captured in the job profile. Georgia Tech uses generic job titles to reflect the general responsibilities of the role. This allows us to pay equitably and comparably within the Institute and against external markets.
|
-
In the past, some job titles included designations such as I, II, Senior, or Lead. Each unit used these designations differently leading to inconsistency across the Institute. In our new career system, units will evaluate and assign job levels based on detailed definitions found in the career level matrix. This shared framework of differentiating career levels creates a consistent approach to job levels across the Institute.
|
-
The management of job titles within higher education is generic on purpose. Generic job titles allow institutions to be consistent and equitable while retaining agility and job market competitiveness. Higher education institutions leverage “working titles” to create additional clarity when appropriate.
|
-
Working titles serve to provide more immediate understanding of a role by describing the function, responsibilities, or scope more clearly or precisely. They can also be used to differentiate between similar roles in a department or similar specialties within a classification.
|
-
Review Georgia Tech’s Working Title Guidelines for additional details about working titles including determining if a working title is appropriate. For some roles, it may be appropriate to use a working title that includes the level of the role.

Kellye Terrell
