I work at a 12-person company where we don't have formal performance reviews. My role has expanded a lot in the last year, including taking on client onboarding and some project management. My title and pay haven't changed. My boss is approachable but super busy, and I don't want to come off as demanding. I've kept notes on outcomes and metrics I've improved. What's the best way to frame a raise request in a setting like this? Should I propose a new title and salary range, or start by asking about how they see my role evolving? Timing-wise, is it better to bring it up after a big deliverable or schedule something dedicated?

I work at a small company where titles are flat and there isn't much structure. Over the last year, I took on new projects and trained two new people. There isn't a clear manager role to ask for, and budgets are tight. I want to ask for a raise or clearer level without sounding pushy. How can I make my case with simple numbers and examples? I can't leave soon, so I need an approach that keeps things positive.
