I am in a technology consulting/implementation role, looking to transition to a small/growth company as a Director of Digital Strategy. Where would you start researching / putting out feelers...

Start with an industry, research companies, engage recruiters? Or send out cold emails for open positions? I need a playbook to start aligning my experiences to be the biggest asset for the right company...

It’s going to be tough to go from implementation to strategy at a role that requires operating with great autonomy. I am not saying you aren’t going to make it but you will have a hard time persuading others.

Also not sure there are many digital strategy roles at small start ups. There are growth manager roles for sure. Do you know of others that have made the transition you want?
