Asking for a raise without shrinking
You have carried more scope for a year and the market has moved. You want to ask for a raise.
Strategy
Anchor on value delivered, name the number, then stop talking.
I want to talk about compensation. In the last twelve months I have owned the rebrand, the vendor migration, and the Q4 launch review. Based on the scope and where the market is for this role, I would like to move to $92,000. I know this is not a decision you make alone, so I would like to understand what it would take to get there.
If they push back
If the answer is not right now: 'What would need to be true in the next six months for the answer to be yes?'
What not to say
Do not apologize for asking or fill the silence.
