Has anyone ever pitched a new role in their company that didn’t exist?

As my job continues, I’ve started to take on so many projects that aren’t necessarily within my job description. So much to the point that it’s becoming a full-time job that’d I actually rather take on than my current position. I think this role that doesn’t exist would be so beneficial to the company and a role that wouldn’t be pigeon-holing my growth within the company. Should I bring up the idea to my manager?

Yes! I work for a growing company and have worked to develop many new roles within my department. I would definitely recommend putting together a business case and bringing it up to your manager. As long as your presenting it as something that will benefit the company and not just your workload, you should receive a positive response.

It sounds like the worst thing that could happen was that the idea could be declined. If you bring it up to your manager, go with a business plan as to why it's a good idea. Use a lot of data, facts and forecasting when you can. Good luck!
