When I moved into my current role my title changed from {UI/UX/Product} Designer to Director of Product -- and it's definitely cut down on the inane "oooh, I have a friend who needs a {website, logo, poster, t-shirt design, etc.}!" responses I used to get. I still do design work (with the added responsibilities of product management) - but the "Product" title is a lot easier (for me) to explain. That, or there are just less follow-up questions afterwards to content with.
