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.
