Has anyone successfully negotiated a title? I was looking for Senior Manager positions but applied for some Mgr positions too. I’m up for promo next year at my current job as well. The current industry offer meets my comp expectation but planning to see if they would bring me in as a senior manager. There isn’t a set hierarchy for the team as of right now as they are building the team and I’d be reporting to a senior executive. Any talking points/tips that might help me negotiate?

I think you can be upfront and say something like "I was looking for Senior Manager roles but applied to this one because the job description is a fit. What would be needed for me to come in as a Senior Manager instead of a manager? ". Other ways to manage is to come in as a manager but negotiate a 6 month review with promotion to senior using that time, with clear deliverables.

Additional Posts in Negotiating Offers

I have read that many companies may provides candidates with a “golden hello” (sign on bonus) when joining the company. I’m not sure whether this is something that depends on the company, the seniority of the role or the industry of the role itself before I could attempt to negotiate this?

Whether it’s via email or phone, HOW do you negotiate pay with a job offer?

What's the best way to ask for a pay raise?

When I was headhunted for the job, ESG was a relatively new concept and too few companies hire for related positions. I didn't find any salary range from Glassdoor or anywhere so I had no idea.

When I saw a similar post from my company (I was already hired that time), they were already including the pay range and I realized mine was way below. I'm already 2.8 yrs in the role.
