Deloitte Decides Your New Job Title Is an Enigma Wrapped in Letters

KEY POINTS

•On January 29, 2026, Deloitte will inform its 181,500 US employees of their newly assigned job titles.
•Starting June 1, 2026, job titles will include specific references to job families and alphanumeric codes like L45 and L55.
•A new leadership position titled 'Leader' will join the existing partners, principals, and managing directors titles.

On a Wednesday that had better coffee than usual, Mo Reynolds, Deloitte US's chief people officer, informed all 181,500 US employees that come January 29, the mystery of their new job titles would be unveiled. Starting June 1, 2026—because nothing says excitement like waiting a year for change—analysts, consultants, and senior managers will morph into ultra-specific labels like 'senior consultant, functional transformation,' or dazzling alphanumeric codes such as L45 and L55. The Big Four giant admitted its current system was 'outdated' and had no idea how to label anyone post-AI takeover, so it introduced a new baffling 'Leader' title alongside partners, principals, and managing directors, because titles clearly need more syllables and confusion. Apparently, all this renaming won’t alter day-to-day work or pay, just the job cards that eventually make you question your life choices harder.

Congrats, Deloitte employees! Soon you’ll know your new identity via a cryptic alphanumeric label instead of actual career progress. Who needs clarity when you have L45?
