There are some unusual job titles that now exist in 2019, using terms such as Evangelist, Hero and Genius which seem to resonate with a new breed of job seeker. Glassdoor has scoured thousands of its open jobs in the UK to compile a list of uncommon and quirky job titles available in 2019, and likely into the future too.
