I made the transition from director at series A startup to director at a publicly traded company with a nearly $30B valuation.
Please let me know if you have additional questions or would like to share any other details of your situation as you transition.
How I did it - communicated that I:
--Understood deeply the current opportunities and how my previous experiences would enable me to add value.
--Understood the long term vision of the team, department and organization and how to build within the current organization.
--Proactively understand my gaps / challenges in transitioning from small org to large org and demonstrated how I am proactively growing.
Other highlights that helped:
--Long history of success in entrepreneurial environments (previous startup that IPO'ed) and clear progression and impact on my resume in many of the most challenging industries and business situations.
--Consistent operation above my pay grade. Previous role I operated at a VP level, per my CMO and private equity partners, even though I was only a director. The fact that I and the team kept showing up with a good attitude even though we were not positioned for success was a sign of ownership, accountability and maturity.
--Focus on long term goals and learning. I wanted to learn how to operate at increased scale and complexity, so did not accept roles at smaller orgs, even if they were Sr. Director or VP level. Took the interviews for practice and networking.
Change your title on resume... maybe product marketing manager
