I would start with finding the top headhunters that focus on that level and type of position and ensure that they have your resume. As you see positions posted it can be a good idea to either work your network to get an intro to the CEO or hiring manager or contact them directly through LinkedIn. Many of these types of positions are never posted and receive applicants through networking and recommendations. So, ensure that you keep in contact with your network, make new connections and enhance your brand through writing articles.

Additional Posts in Senior Leaders and Executives Only

I’ve been a mid-level manager (Sr Operations Manager) for the last three years. Been in my industry for 10 years. I feel I have plateaued in my career path. I’m trying to promote to a Director of Operations role in house and looking at outside opportunities as well. I feel like it’s taken longer to obtain this position than my previous roles. Any advice from Sr/Exec Management to be more self aware and fill in the holes to finally hit the finish line?
