I got a job offer at the highest end of the range for the role I interviewed for. However, they offered me a more senior title as well. This is before negotiating. How should I go about negotiations given that they’ve expressed immense interest in me as a standout candidate?

Well, what's the bracket for the senior roll?

You don't want to be coming in at the floor of it since you're clearly worth the higher end of the bracket

Most times, the end bracket of a lower role falls in the middle of higher role bracket. Also , the amount requested for can also determine the role level given .

I think it depends on how much you really want the job and how much you need the job. They gave you a higher title because they were willing to give you the top end of the range. That means it’s less likely you will be able to get a promotion for a while. In this economy, though you have a ton of competition and whether they like you and want you versus the second candidate may go with how much you want to negotiate. If I had gone out of my way to get people the top of the range and another title, and they asked for more I probably would go to my next candidate. Unless you have a really unique skill set.

I was going to make this point. Depending on the context you may have given regarding your career aspirations, they may have wanted you to have space to grow, and at top of range you may not be eligible for merit if there is no room in that grade. On the flipside, I'd inquire honestly, and ask if the scope of the role has changed. If it has, then a discussion of higher pay is merited.

Take what they offered and be done. As a hiring manager, if I gave you a strong offer and you came back still wanting more, I’d start to reconsider if I’d want you working for me, especially if the next candidate was a close second.

That sounds like a you problem. As a hiring manager, I always expect there will be counter. If not then I'd be worried the person is desperate and that they don't know the basics of negotiating a good deal for themselves. Unless you're super junior or really desperate, you should always negotiate - even if it means negotiating for PTO.
