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.
