Maybe "UI Wayfinding Designer"?

prob the next name phase would be UE. IUE usability engineer, or interactive usability engineer. Right now job titles in tech everything is being called engineer as a trend. front end engineer.. as example.

Great article on the subject - http://www.uxmatters.com/mt/arch…
I've recently started a new role as the Sr. UX Designer at a large company. Not only am I doing a lot of site flows, lo fi wires, hi fi wires, and full visual design but I am also leading the desktop and mobile strategy. Historically, to the original post point, interactive designers and web designers made sitemaps, wires, etc. for a project but it was always outside of the context of product management. It was either within the creative department or the technology dept.
To work in a product dept, outside of creative and marketing, is eliminating most of the common issues I traditionally faced previously b/c I am now establishing the strategy instead of receiving a fully flushed out idea and merely executing it.

@studderine
Yes, considering I work for a company with a clearly defined style guide of colors and fonts it's not a big deal. Having 10+ years as a digital designer it was important to me to still be hands on pushing pixels.
For instance, I just redid the entire sign in/register flow for the company. I did all the wires, use cases, error messages, and defined the sizing for desktop and mobile. I also provided the PSDs of the project to the coders. Similarly, I enhanced the navigation b/c of this project and also executed the PSD's for that.
When I interviewed it was clear that they wanted a UX person who could also design so I could lead/influence the execution and not rely on the creative dept.

Does anyone ever get the feeling that some of this stuff is excessively thought out more than it needs to be? I find being a ux architect that I've had to work harder to convince some colleagues who are good designers or art directors of things that are pure common sense, like: why would you put a "view all products" button at the end multiple product filter buttons (for prod categories)? You put the All button up front as the broadest grouping, then the filters following it.

Are those that have been building sites for clients not doing both these jobs already?
If you buy a theme and mod it then not so much but in terms of building the wireframe, layout etc...is that not part of a web designers job already?
Or are people delegating nowadays?

The terms UX and UI are mostly for the client to get a better handle on when you "come to the table". UX as a discipline is in place to establish designers as change agents. Designers have one way or another always been UX people. Championing the experience is a way for business people to get their heads out of leading with money, and more into leading with what their customers want and need (and trusting that the money will follow). To do this, they turn to the designer, who is the chief design thinker, chief systems thinker, and can most easily orchestrate touch points in the overall experience (instead of just "the site"). It's not just pushing pixels anymore.

The difference between the why and what.

UX does lots of scientific testing, that 99% ui guys dont ever do. Stuff like stats analysis, a/b testing, field research etc.
I find a lot of designers class themselves as a "UX / UI designer", when they arent UX guys. I totally agree that UI folk naturally consider some UX, but no where near as much as a full UX role.
I saw this image a couple of years ago by erik flowers and since then ive understood the difference -
he does a very good and popular article here -
