Project Manager may be a good option... in the right shop.

But in the wrong shop -- one where the Proj Mgr is also the admin honcho (and sometimes, the chief AH in charge of vacation scheduling, OT assignments, timecards, EEO reports, and so forth, ad nauseum) it can be a hellish position.

However, lest this seem too much a knock on a Proj Mgr role, full disclosure reveals that I've also run my own business... and in doing so, proved I was vastly better at what I had been doing than at running the company... so I have a somewhat jaundiced view (to the tune of half a mil, +-). That was a hurtful hit, that took nearly 20 years to offset.
