How do you answer the reason you're leaving your current role when this is the reason?

My role is supposed to be in marketing. However, the business is doing too well right now that the owners are turning away busines and are not using our CRM fully anymore. I've had to help with HR extensively (so much so that it's almost my entire role now) to help them hire more people to manage the capacity of work coming through. It's a great problem for the company to have, but me not so much.

In the past, I’ve always said, “looking for an opportunity to grow my career.” In interviews, never trash your current employer. It’s usually off putting to hiring managers because sometimes they may think you’re going to do the same to them down the line.
