What's more important manager promotion or new location? If you had to pick one, that's what you do first. If you insist on both, stay for promotion, and try to relocate after.

@OP after promotion, you could interview with new firms in target market. You'd be surprised how fast KPMG makes a transfer happen when you tell them "if you don't transfer me I'm leaving for EY".

like

After. Nobody in new market to vouch for your work or advocate for your promo.

Agree but do you think it could be an issue if you get promoted and have your set clients in that office? I bet they wouldn't want to transfer you and have to get you to get new clients to manage.

Thanks guys!

Thank you for your response.

Hi friends! I’m looking for resources to help me be successful in a “Functional Lead” role.

The role is in FinTech
I’m responsible for strategy, comms and key partnerships for a bank product. It reports through Customer Experience but touches product, Ops. marketing. It’s basically a Project Manager role but more nuanced.

Anyone out there in a role like this? Any books. videos or even best practices to share?
