Yes, and it is a substantial move. A warehouse manager already covers 26% of what a move manager is expected to do: 7 skills carry over, 6 of which the move manager role treats as required.

13 required skills are missing, plus 15 optional ones. They fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by communication, collaboration and creativity. The single most important is obtain permits for use of public spaces.

Its learning distance is 73.9 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
