I rather think that my job title does reflect what I do.

My job title is "Executive Assistant to the Chief Executive", and that's what I do  (with the help of my splendid assistant).  More specifically, my role is to manage the office of the Chief Executive and make sure that everything is done in a timely fashion.  Bossie's workload is quite considerable, so I have sole responsibility for five major areas of that workload, much of it concerning legal matters.

I am aware, however, that job titles are quite flexible.  My very first "admin support" job bore the title "Personal Assistant", which in that particular company meant "junior secretary".  I check out job advertisements from time to time and have a quiet chuckle when I see "Executive Assistant" posts advertised where the salary is between half to two-thirds that of mine and the level of responsibilities commensurate with the lower-level of salary.
