Depends on where. Find out who the hiring manager is and what they need on their team, and tailor to that. It’s challenging but if you can get those details from the recruiter, or dig around online, it’ll help a ton. Source: currently in biz ops tech

Depends on your level now. If you don’t know how to drive multiple things well, you won’t go far. And where you want to go after. Think of your ideal progression. If it’s to Product Management, exit at experienced consultant/manager level so you’ve seen enough to have good context. If it’s just to get experiences, start more junior. Depending on the team, a senior role doesn’t have a ton of upward mobility, so it’s a consideration.

I’m sure this varies by role and company, but in general, should your resume focus more on strategic or operational project experience? And is it worth mentioning any program management type experience to show you can align and drive stakeholders?

What’s more important for BizOps - analysis skills or people skills?

Depends on the level you join. The higher the position the more important people skills are. At the associate levels you are needed to have more analysis skills rather than people skills.

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.
