    Should I raise this with my manager?

    I have recently moved to a new project with the same clientco, and it appears clear that my new project role requires a higher degree of responsibility than my previous one. For example I am leading sessions with stakeholders and taking ownership of large deliverables.

    Up until now my title has been Business Analyst, however I think my greater responsibility should be reflected in my job title. I know a title is just a collection of words but at least I would feel like the company valued me a little more.

    Does anyone have any experience of raising this kind of thing with their manager?

    Call yourself a contractor? A job title means nothing more than a nice phrase on your CV.

    The only thing additional responsibility can offer is a reason to ask for more money come renewal time.
    merely at clientco for the entertainment

        Grow a pair. You're working for your own company. Call yourself whatever you think appropriate. I'd suggest "bedwetter".

          Titles mean nothing, pound notes everything.

            i'm sorry mate but if clientco want you to do more without paying for it then they don't value you.
            Totally agree with others that it's all about the cash. Good luck with getting it.

                    I prefer Scumbag consultant. Or maybe Senior Scumbag.
