I’ll add to D1 if your boss is halfway decent they’ll want you to succeed and give you the support you need.

And that means OP you get a chance to prove that you're worth every penny they're paying you. Sounds like a good challenge to me. Failure is always an option in every job with or without a team or a known territory. Do your best

This is a high visibility role and I'm expected to hit the ground running at this level. I'm afraid of failing in this role. It's an individual contributor role, so I won't have associates under me. I'm just nervous about uncharted territory with no firm resource or SMEs to lean on. I won't be completely alone in this role- I'll work cross functionally with other teams. However, I am expected to be the SME and make business decisions. Is this feeling normal for those who have transitioned to industry? Is this a case of imposter syndrome?

I agree. If it's one thing I can say confidently about myself it is my ability to learn fast and be resourceful. Thank you for the encouragement.
