Expect a different title track, different comp ranges(it's likely in the project management job family, go compare on bls.gov), and likely a manager without experience in your new practice. If you're the first/only, you're also looking at making sure folks understands your role, and how to value your efforts.

I haven't seen folks make the change in formal role. I have seen folks take on the role, and I've taken it on myself (not my fave) with moderate success to make things happen.

Biggest advice: support the people in producing good outcomes, any processes should serve that. But the people create the outcomes, the process is a disposable tool.

Yeah, that is really important to me: It's the people, not the process that matters. However, if things get heated, it's good to have something to fall back to and start over.
