job promotion

Moving up professionally

A job promotion is an advance to a higher position within an organization, typically bringing increased responsibilities, status, and pay.

The phrase treats the move as a single concept rather than just any promotion that happens to involve a job: She's been angling for a job promotion for months.

Getting promoted and getting a job promotion mean the same thing.
