My official title at my theatre company is Company Stage Manager.  It's kind of an arbitrary term, but I am the resident Stage Manager, oversee the Stage Management fellow, coordinate any guest stage managers, and take care of a lot of other company business besides(I'm employed year-round even though we only produce September-June.)  My boss and I have talked about changing my title to Production Stage Manager to be more industry standard.  Does anyone have an opinion about what the appropriate job title would be and how to make those distinctions?

Any person in the industry I've worked with who fall under those job descriptions has been known, to me, as a production stage manager.

I basically have the same job, my title is Resident Production Stage Manager - and I think that indeed would be the industry standard for our type of position.
