How to ask for a title change

Once you've done your research, made your notes, and come up with a proposal for a new title, set up a meeting with your manager (face-to-face ideally):

• Let them know you want to talk about your career growth and specifically your title.
• Tell them how much you've enjoyed your current role.
• Mention the responsibilities you held at the beginning and how they've shifted.
• Segue into the research you did, and mention how important your growth is to you.
• Talk about how your current role and responsibilities translate well into the new position, and ask if making this change would be something that could be considered.
• Reassure them that this is a forward-thinking request, and that you're not actively looking for other job opportunities (assuming that's actually the case).
• Let them know that you don't expect a decision immediately, and that you'll send over a copy of your notes and research.
