Totally. I don't want to be perceived as pompous but fuck it, I'm skilled too. lol. So I'll leave it in there and include my accomplishments.

  No one reading a resume focuses on titles because they are seldom meaningful by themselves. What you have to do is back the title up with accomplishments. Someone called a Director should have some number of direct and indirect reports, business units they're in charge of, metrics their performance is measured against, and specific accomplishments. So you describe what you did as a Director and those accomplishments and responsibilities should line up with with the title. If you were Director-level at a recognized company that's one thing. A Director at Apple or Microsoft will send a different message than a Director at some three-person operation that lasted for a year and no one ever heard of. There's a glut of very small companies started by friends who all call themselves Director and CEO and Founder and so on. With no responsibilities or accomplishments the titles are just a joke, and rightly perceived as such.
