Will an extended Pre-Masters job experience hurt while applying for IB SA/Off-cycles

I am starting a Masters of Finance in a UK target this September and hoping to break into IB though SA or Off-Cycles. I have been working at the FP&A team of a British bank for less than 2 years. I have recently been promoted with my new job title now being Manager. Although I was pleasantly surprised by this early promotion, I am worried about mentioning it in my CV. I have considered putting my experience under a broad header of "FP&A Analyst" as opposed to Assistant Manager and Manager, FP&A while making my CV for SA or Off-cycle openings.

Are my reservations regarding mentioning my job title appropriately placed or am I thinking too much into it?

For some more background, I am using the masters to move to the UK and did not want to wait another 2-3 years for an MBA for the move. Would really appreciate any suggestions!
