Should I ask my boss to change my title if that title belongs to another department?

I'm a senior analyst in my department (Business-oriented). The common career path of my colleagues in my department is: Sr.Analyst-->Manager-->Senior Manager-->Director...

Based on that, my next step will be becoming a Manager. However, I'm interested in being a Data Scientist since my day-to-day tasks are 90% of what Data Scientists in my company do. But Data Scientist title is for the people in Data Science/Analytics department, not my department.

What can I do? Moving to another team (harder) or asking for a change in my title to reflect better what I'm doing? Is it possible to change my job title if no one in my department has that title before?
