Looking for some advice. I’ve started to come across open positions in corporate development and as I learn more about it I am starting to become more and more interested and am looking to break into this field

My question is, coming from an Fin ops background, how hard will it be for me to obtain an analyst position in this field? Am I locked into ops? I see most job openings in corp dev are looking for 1-2 years work experience in corporate development, however I do have translatable skills

What transferable skills do you have? I'm sure there is some overlap with Fin ops but there might be certifications or other qualifications you may need to get. Corporate development is going to be a huge emphasis in corporate life for years to come so I think it's wise you're interested in making the transition.

Besides a solid background in financial services I also have excellent communication skills that I feel can be more uncommon from back office. I also have a very good understanding of financial statements from my accounting background, experience with data analysis and strong excel skills. My current position has never required modeling but I find it quite interesting and feel I can learn it quickly on the job. I am also open to any and all required licensure.

I do agree and feel like I should try to transition as soon as I can

I don't think you're totally locked out by any means. I think the transferable skills that you can go on to use in that role. My main thing would be to put that in your resume honestly and connect the dots for the person reading them. I got my resume reworked by a professional when I was pivoting out, made a huge difference
