If you are part of a new venture in Silicon Valley, this nonsensical job title generator will help you figure out what to put in your email signature. With roles like 'thinkfluencing disruptor' and 'emoji sage,' the tumblr-run generator and parody tool pokes fun at what Mashable calls the "high-vocabulary, low-meaning nature of some of the industry's cushier jobs."
Created by GQ's Freddie Campion, the Silicon Valley Job Title Generator comes up with random titles at the click of a button. While some are clearly a joke (audience recognition tsar), others are spot-on and could conceivably be real (mobile platform proctor). There is also an image of a wild-haired, oversized-glasses wearing man with his hands held as if he is reading a crystal ball.
