Question for all you cross-sectional data folks out there. How do you label what you do to other people? Labels are usually inaccurate but also useful. I was formerly an economist, a data scientist, & now I'm a product director doing mostly product, data, & econ stuff. What do you call that?

A couple of decades deep across different roles and focus, I’ve given up trying for the perfect pithy label, I just want to find the nexus
In general, I just use my official title and gauge interest/understanding before proceeding lol.
I don't label it, to be honest. I tell people what I do, not what I am. So ... "I help people use data." I make it easier for them to understand what's good and bad about _how_ they're using the data.
