It's always a hard problem, especially when management want
to show the possibility of an upward path. I've been:
  Instructor
  Programmer
  "Hey, you!"
  Person who can type
  Technical writer
  Senior technical writer
  Principal technical writer
  Senior principal technical writer
  Lead technical writer
  Documentation engineer
  "Just what do you do around here?"
  Wrangler
  Groundskeeper

Others among us have had job titles equally as exciting,
and I doubt any of them will actually turn out to be what
your new boss wants. I might suggest Prestidigitator or
Documentationalist as further possibilities. Something
with "Analyst" in the title might be good, but don't let
them abbreviate it.
