So here is what I came up with related to definitions of Key Sharepoint Business Roles:
Sharepoint Project Manager

• Defines Business Rules for Sharepoint
• Writes requirements specifications for the Sharepoint Developer, Architect, and Designer
• Monitors the Sharepoint Developer, Architect, and Designer's project progress
• Acts as a go between for the customer and Sharepoint Developer, Architect, and Designer
• Re-allocates resources available for Sharepoint Projects based on supply and demand
• Changes project priority as needed

Sharepoint Administrator

• Monitors the Innerworkings of Sharepoint through Central Administration and Server Side Administration
• Maintains backup strategies and scripts
• Maintains Services Related to Sharepoint
• Performs Disaster Recovery
• Sets up services for Sharepoint

Sharepoint Architect

• Creates and maintains the Sharepoint Structure based on user requirements and content needs
• Documents Sharepoint site structure
• Helps the developer find practical solutions for users
• Maintains use case scenarios in UML and other user based diagrams
• Works with the Project Manager to get a better idea of what the users need

Sharepoint Developer

• Writes custom web parts and applications for Sharepoint in Visual Studio 2005, Sharepoint Designer, and Javascript Editors
• Tests, Debugs, and Deploys custom Sharepoint Solutions

Sharepoint Trainer/Support

• Works with the Architect and Project Manager to train users on Sharepoint Sites and Concepts
• Creates Webex Sessions and hosts them
• Assists users on how to utilize Sharepoint
• Answers user questions via e-mail, in-person, or webex
• Helps the Sharepoint Architect and Sharepoint Developer understand user related issues better
• Creates documentation faq for users, so that they can better understand Sharepoint Functionality

Sharepoint Designer

• Manages all custom visual content in Sharepoint
• Creates custom templates based on Project Requirements from the Sharepoint Project Manager and User Specifications created by the Sharepoint Architect
• Designs and maintains custom default.master pages, so that changes can be made dynamically and easy
• Creates and maintains custom style sheets based on company and user requirements defined by the Sharepoint Project Manager and Sharepoint Architect
• Works with the Sharepoint Architect to get a better feel for the templates based on user requirements

I am not saying this is entirely accurate.  This is just something that I am still working on and would enjoy any comments people out in the community would be willing to give me.
