Internal is best. Show leadership within your team. Take things off your managers plate and do it for him/her. Don’t go around your manager.

Given there is a lot of fluidity in the market now, some team will lose their EM. Ask for the opportunity to lead that team. Offer to do the job without a title change. Then ask for title 6-12 months in. It’s easy for your boss to give you a role without a title change due to org dynamics.
