Is there a job title for some of the responsibilities of an engineering director that doesn’t have reports?

We recently had a major reorganization at work.
I’m currently helping the head of engineering. He has put me in charge of some of the duties of an engineering director/manager like:
- SDLC improvements.
- Recruitment and recruitment process improvements.
- Career path and role definitions.
- Define training programs.
- On boarding process for new engineers.
- Some incident management and resolution.
I don’t have direct reports and am not interested at the moment on having.
Does a job title for a role with these responsibilities and similar without reports?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

What is you goal in defining a job title now? Do you want to include it on a CV to job-junt? In your email signature?... what was your original title before the restructuring

"Process manager" comes to mind from SDLC. HR fits the rest best, although your are likely expected to be doing it from a very technically-oriented viewpoint rather than a uniquely "people" POV.

You don't necessarily need direct reports to have a managerial title.
We could give you suggestions, but you know your role best, so I would do some research on LinkedIn or job posting sites to see what titles are aligned with your responsibilities.
When you have several candidates for a title, discuss them with the head of engineering to make sure that his expectations align with yours.
