A hiring manager asked why I want to leave when I have only been in my current role a little over a year, and I could tell the answer mattered more than anything else I said after that. The truth is I took the role because I needed stability, but I already know it is too narrow for where I want to go. How do you explain leaving early without sounding unreliable?

All they care about is that your answer shows you are excited about a new job rather than taking the opportunity to complain about an old one. Finding a way to say that you are looking for a more growth opportunities is perfectly acceptable.
