I run the Unix Systems Division of the University of Cambridge Computing Service. (Here's an alternative definition.) The caffeine hasn't got me yet, but it's working on it.

I also serve on the University of Cambridge Council as a member in Class (c), the membership of Regent House who aren't Professors, Readers or Heads of House. In that capacity I sit on three Council committees: the Audit Committe, the Student Affairs Committee, and the Nominations Committee.
