I was just promoted to the Senior PM title, but the role is more like Group PM since it includes managing 6 PMs and zero products. I used to have only 1 report. Any advice from people that made this jump successfully would be appreciated.

Are you a Senior Product Manager? Or a Senior Manager of Product Management? There’s a difference.

Sr PM is typically an IC. But so is a Group PM in most orgs.

Sr manager, Product would be a people manager. Same with director.

If you’re actually a Sr PM, sounds like your org is kinda making things up with how they name roles.

I currently have a manager rank and am transitioning to a role (Senior Product Manager) that’s typically for someone with a senior manager rank in the company I work for.
But rank change may take another 2 years, first I need to prove I can perform at that next level consistently.
