What's more important - Job Title, or Job Description

Hey,

So in the process of getting my reference letter from my company, I find that HR has a different job title than what I used. This is common practice at my company - when I look people up in the internal Org Chart, I see a "Functional" title, while the HR system maintains an "Official" title. The difference isn't very great ( Senior Program Manager vs Principal Program Manager)

My job description matches and exceeds the necessary requirements.My salary matches as well. And finally, I work for a giant global brand, a company everyone has heard of, at the HQ in the US.

So - when I submit, I'm going to change my titles under Employment History to match the letter from HR. I will add an LoE that explains why the difference.

Does anyone see any issues with this approach? Thoughts?

Job Description. As job title can vary greatly between companies. Ex, a janitor can have a job title called Custodial Engineer, or a helpdesk with a title called Technology Ambassador.
