Startup: Titles are flexible and tend to run high. One person may hold Head of Marketing and do every task. Search your own title and the level below it, since the same work often has a lower title elsewhere.

The one search string holds your top 8 titles at most, because many job boards cut off long searches. The summary has your level read, top titles, search terms and resume wording in plain text.

How your current title maps

Reads smaller

Your current title sounds more junior than the work you described, which reads like E-commerce Manager. Keep your official title and add the functional title in parentheses.

Resume job title examples

Functional title in parentheses

Marketing Coordinator (functional title: E-commerce Manager)

Summary line at the top

E-commerce Manager with practical experience in Shopify and GA4. Current official title: Marketing Coordinator.

Bullet that names the scope

Marketing Coordinator, covering E-commerce Manager duties: [what you owned], [the tools you used], [the result you can point to].

Keep your official title exactly as your employer has it, and add the functional title in parentheses or in your summary so it stays truthful and easy to find.

Job title translator questions

Is it okay to use a different job title than the one on my paperwork?

Not in place of it. Your official title should match what your employer would confirm in a background or employment check. What you can do is add the functional title in parentheses, like Marketing Specialist (functional title: Paid Media Manager), or use it in your summary. That keeps you honest and easy to find.

How does the job title translator decide which titles fit my work?

It reads your text, reduces each word to its root so that install, installed and installation count alike, and looks for phrases that belong to each of more than 260 job titles, such as tools, duties and deliverables. Defining phrases count more than generic ones, and a sentence you repeat or pad with unrelated words never changes the result. The estimate is then adjusted for seniority clues like your years of experience, whether you manage people, and words such as led, owned or reported to. It reads English text only, and only the first 20,000 characters you paste. Phrases that follow never, not or no are skipped, and the scores count mentions, not proof of skill, so a pasted list of keywords is capped and flagged.

What does the match estimate mean?

It is a rough estimate of how much of the typical work for a title showed up in your text, rounded to the nearest 5 and never shown above 95. It is lowered when a title sits well above or below your level read. Strong match means many defining signals appeared. Likely means several did. Possible means only a few did, so treat it as a title to explore. A result that rests on one or two phrases is marked as a rough read. It is not a prediction of interview odds.

Why do I see phrases that are not mentioned in my text?

They are duties or tools that employers usually expect for that title and that your text did not mention. If you have done them, add them to your resume in plain words. If you have not, leave them out and treat the title as a stretch.

What if my title sounds bigger than my real work?

Recruiters compare you on the work, not the label. Describe your scope with concrete facts such as team size, tools, budget and results. If the tool reads your work at a lower level than your title, search titles at that level too, and let your bullets do the persuading.

What if my title sounds smaller than my real work?

This is common with words like Coordinator, Assistant and Associate. Keep the official title, add the functional title in parentheses, and put the bigger scope in your summary and bullets. Be ready to explain the gap in an interview.

Do startup and large company job titles mean the same thing?

Often they do not. Startups tend to hand out larger titles early, and one person may cover a whole function. Large companies use narrower, more formal ladders. The tool follows one rule per company size. At a startup, search your own title and the level below it. At a mid size company, search your title as written, then check the level above and below. At a large company, search your own title and the level above it.

Which job titles should I search on job boards?

Use the Best job titles to search list. It combines your Likely and Strong matches with the alternate names employers use for the same work. If nothing reaches Likely, it shows the closest title and says the match is weak, or leaves the list empty when even that is too thin. The one search string holds at most 8 titles because many job boards cut off long searches. Use Copy list to search the rest one at a time.

What does Copy my translation summary include?

A clean plain text note with your level read, your top matching titles with their estimates, the titles and search string to use, and the resume wording. It is meant for pasting into a notes app, an email to yourself, or a conversation with a mentor or recruiter.

What if my field is not covered?

The tool covers more than 260 titles across tech, business, trades, healthcare, education, hospitality, retail, logistics, public service, personal and property services, and creative work. It can still miss rare or very specialized roles. If you paste 40 words or more and nothing lines up, it says your field may not be covered and lists the fields it knows, instead of guessing.

Why are the search titles limited to my level?

The search list only includes titles at your level or one step above it, so an intern or coordinator is never told to search for Director roles. If every match sits well above the level your text reads at, the list is held back and the tool says why.

What is the Look up a title tab for?

It works in reverse. Type a job title, or a short form such as PM, RN or CMO, and see the duties and tools that normally come with it, plus neighboring titles that people often confuse it with. Small typos are fixed and the tool tells you what it showed results for. It helps when a job ad uses a title you do not recognize, or when you want to check that a title fits before you apply. Words like manager or engineer alone are too general to match.

Is my text saved or sent anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser using a fixed list of titles and phrases. There is no account, no server call, and no AI model involved, so the same text always gives the same result. Nothing is stored when you close the page.
