I've always tried to maintain this list as ways one can boost their resume/overall credentials. Maybe there's some stuff on there you can do or add to your own resume. But since you already work there and are trying to move laterally into that position, I'd say your most powerful tool is to just network with the folks on that team. Reach out to them now and ask what they're looking for. Ask if you can help in some way now. Get to know them. Become buddies. Though competency/experience should be king when it comes to hiring, that social/culture fit on the team is usually pretty important too. If the folks on that team like you, think you're a hard worker and are willing to listen and learn from them, they'll be that much more keen on bringing you onto the team ๐Ÿ‘
