The answer above mine is probably a bit closer to what you were wanting, but those positions are pretty rare. You more often see line service guys who actually do the ground work after airplanes land and before they takeoff. Line service techs do more than just marshall around airplanes, but that is certainly one of their duties.

I see that you have all the answers about the guy or gal that directs an aircraft to park. Ramp agent or Ramp Service Agent is the common airline designation and you got the military names from the other folks.However, NOT on the runways. The runways are used solely for the purpose of taking off or for landing. The pavement leading to the runways are called Taxiways and they are the ones with the pretty blue lights at night. The paved area around the airport terminal is call the Apron or the Ramp. There are also Runup areas and holding areas, places where the planes can perform their preflight checks or just stay out of the way until their clearance reaches them.
