No, you’re not in the wrong. I have a mentor at your level who is in the same situation. Is your manager not familiar with the work and thus underestimating how long it will take? Do you need more resources to meet the demands or is this work specifically about team strategy, etc. and not tasks you can delegate?
I don’t have too much specific information to go off of, but if this is internal ‘manufactured urgency’, I’d continued to illustrate the hours it takes, map out how it contributes to organizational priorities, and document the deadlines. It can encourage fact-based discussions on setting more reasonable deadlines. If there’s a lack of familiarity with your work, you may have to do that delicate/tactful dance of educating him/her as well.
