In addition to QA, and UI expertise, you have to be a strong strategic
thinker and business analyst. I can do it, and have done it all, and got
the same reference "she knows the product better than anyone in the

Therefore I could add the following job titles:
Chief Arbiter of Basic Decisions
Chief Cook & Bottle Washer
GUI Guru
All Seeing/All Knowing Writer Chick

I was thinking of a more "professional" title - you know the kind you

Information & Image Consultant (although that Image part sounds more
like Mary Kay)
