What should I choose as a title?
最近告诉我将升职了吗a family office. My current title is acquisitions analyst, although I have 5+ years experience and took a step back title wise to get in here and get a considerable bump in compensation. I will have one direct report. The transaction team is basically myself, direct report (new hire), and two principals. My direct report's title will be analyst. In addition to overseeing all their work I will still be in the weeds on modeling/ dilignce and working to originate transactions, working on recapitalization opportunities, and fleshing out formal acquisition criteria and internal UW standards. I'd like a title that conveys an appropriate levels of seniority but also leaves some room for an additional promotion as we grow the team. We will transact at the property, portfolio, and operating company level if that helps.
I've considered "associate", "senior associate", and "assocaite director". Curious to hear opinions.

Associate director sounds too brokerage-ish for me and I don't think you're senior associate level yet either.
So associate works by matter of elimination as well as that's what my firm would probably have you at given what you've described
Edit: misread your experience. With 5 years, you're easily Senior Associate level, maybe VP like mentioned below
FWIW VP is above Director here
Push for VP then and have senior associate as your fall-back, but don't falter easily if you're taking this new title seriously
VP or director of acquisitions should work and leave some room for a title bump in the future if needed. All shops are different though so YMMV...
For general note, I think a lot real estate/corporate entities (mine included) have rank structure of...
