Job Title Change Request Letter
A title change request with no salary change is the easiest ask to approve and the one most people never make. Frame it around external accuracy — clients, candidates and your CV should reflect the work you actually do.

Common questions
Should I ask for a promotion in writing or in person?
Both. Raise it in a one-to-one first, then send the letter as the written record your manager can forward to HR and their own manager.
What should I include?
Measurable achievements, responsibilities you have taken on beyond your job description, and a direct comparison to the target role's requirements. Tenure alone is the weakest possible argument.
When is the best time to ask?
After a strong performance review, at the close of a successful project, or during the company's planning cycle when headcount and budget are actually being decided.
