Last year I received a “market adjustment” just 2 years into a new role. My manager said I was still being underpaid (despite the ~25% increase), but he left shortly after. My interim manager put me up for a promotion during AOP for this year, but I was never told if it was approved. We just went through some structural re-organizations and now I have ANOTHER new manager. Is my promotion dead in the water or is there away to tactfully approach the conversation to at least get a good raise?

Nobody here can tell you if the promotion was approved. I would imagine it would depend on exactly how things were restructured. But if your old manager said they put you up for promotion not sure why you wouldn’t just ask your new manager for an update or if there is anything else you could do to move it along.

Bring it up immediately once you have the introduction. Don’t be pushy but make them aware. If I was taking over a team I would want to know these things if I wasn’t already aware.

My new manager seems great, but a little more hands off than the last two. I’m worried she won’t fight for me.

Whether or not she will fight for you is out of your hands. Either way, you have to talk to her if you want a chance of it happening. It's worth a shot.

I would ask about it at the very least. Keep advocating for and fighting for yourself because nobody else is going to do it for you.

I agree. You should tell your manager that you were formally up for promotion and ask if that’s still the case.

The answer may be “no” and that’s fine. Being up for promotion doesn’t guarantee one
In that case ask your new manager what you should be doing new/different to get a promotion.
