What should I choose as a title?

Was recently told I will be getting a promotion at a family office. My current title is acquisitions analyst, although I have 5+ years experience and took a step back title wise to get in here and get a considerable bump in compensation. I will have one direct report. The transaction team is basically myself, direct report (new hire), and two principals. My direct report's title will be analyst. In addition to overseeing all their work I will still be in the weeds on modeling/ dilignce and working to originate transactions, working on recapitalization opportunities, and fleshing out formal acquisition criteria and internal UW standards. I'd like a title that conveys an appropriate levels of seniority but also leaves some room for an additional promotion as we grow the team. We will transact at the property, portfolio, and operating company level if that helps.

I've considered "associate", "senior associate", and "assocaite director". Curious to hear opinions.

 

Associate director sounds too brokerage-ish for me and I don't think you're senior associate level yet either.

So associate works by matter of elimination as well as that's what my firm would probably have you at given what you've described

Edit: misread your experience. With 5 years, you're easily Senior Associate level, maybe VP like mentioned below
