What's my job title? "Secretary" doesn't quite cut it....?

My job title at work is "secretary," but my job description goes way beyond that. I'm trying to research what kind of salary I should be making, but don't know what job title to search for. My duties include: -Creating and maintaining a contact database with full history of where everyone has worked and what committees they have served on during their employ. Producing reports, statistics, and mailing lists on demand. -Creating and maintaining network templates for word documents. -Creating and maintaining a special events database for inviting people worldwide to upcoming media events. Must run statistics and reports on demand, see who was invited to previous events and whether or not they attended, etc. -Creating event programmes, invitations, signs, tickets, RSVP cards, and sign-in sheets for internal and external events. -Attending highly confidential board meetings, taking and distributing minutes, formatting and revising publications and redistributing them, organizing the meetings, room reservations, and refreshments at the call of the chair. -Light technical support and trouble-shooting for my department. -Standard permission and information letters for my various department heads. -Proofreading and occasionally reformatting media releases and other public documents before distribution. -Streamlining electronic office procedures. -Screening phone calls for my supervisor. -Dictation. -Relief reception. -Online research. -Troubleshooting the photocopier, fax machine, voicemail computer, and postage machine. -Whatever else my boss can find for me to do. So....Who Am I?

1. executive assistant
2. I'm with little sid. You are an executive assistant....
3. You've just described a secretary. Today, that job is called an "assistant" but that is only because secretary is a bad word. Secretary wasn't always a bad word though. It was once very respected. The secretary is the boss's assistant, his right hand person.
4. That's pretty much a secretary. However, the PC police have decided that "secretary" is a bad word, so you could use: Administrative Assistant Executive Assistant or, my favorite, Executive Administrative Assistant
5. I think you are doing HR Assistance or HR Generalist
6. I would search for executive assistant or admin assistant.Try both in salary.com and look thru their descriptions to get a good idea for your area.
7. Your company should realign it's job titles with proper functions. You have described your duties as those of a very busy executive assistant or office manager. Some companies haven't updated job titles and descriptions in years. This not only looks bad in the industry, but keeps recruiting down. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do. You could have a "career-path" discussion with your immediate superior or with HR to find out what is available that you can aspire to as your career within the company expands. Good luck!
