I've been looking around the net but can't find a good answer - so if you guys don't mind, I'd like your opinion. What kind of title would you use for someone who generates guidelines and procedures for producing and keeping records of non-technical documentation (government case documents, for instance) as well as the internal and external exchange of those documents, supervises and QCs the people who do the actual record keeping, provides technical support for end users of the electronic documentation system, and fields questions from external entities about the organizations' documents?
I'm looking through "wanted" ads by US employers but am having trouble finding something that resembles my current position (which isn't in the US, in case anyone wondered). Maybe it doesn't really exist there?

Here this would be in the records management department, which includes positions with titles such as:
Records Program Manager
Records Management Analyst
Records Management Assistant
Thanks, that's very helpful! Is it safe to assume that "manager" and "analyst" titles indicate a degree of independence and responsibility, while "assistant" is a junior position?
I've looked at some positions using the title "archivist," they tend to deal with "dead" information that is given to them after a process is completed. I've been in a lot of meetings with senior health service directors explaining to them why they have to document their work continuously and in compliance with government regulations, as somehow it's not sufficient that the hospital's CEO told them they had to... I've also had arguments about documentation processes with the hospital's corporate lawyer (and won!).
I might be prejudiced but I don't see an archivist doing that

their title was Senior Records Analyst
Thanks! That's useful
