Executive Career Strategy

Position Like an Operator. Compete Like an Executive.

You’ve built systems.
Scaled teams.
Optimized margins.
Driven revenue.

But your career story doesn’t reflect the level you actually operate at.

At Anderson Ops Advisory, we don’t “write resumes.”

We architect executive positioning strategies that help high-performing operators secure Director, VP, and C-Suite roles.

This is fractional COO thinking — applied to your career.

The Problem

Most executives undersell themselves.

Their resumes:
 
  • List responsibilities instead of outcomes
  • Hide operational impact
  • Fail to quantify revenue, margin, or efficiency gains
  • Sound managerial instead of strategic

Recruiters don’t see your real leverage.
Boards don’t see P&L ownership.
Founders don’t see a growth operator.

We fix that.

This is structured executive positioning.

Step 1: Career Audit & Strategic Narrative

We identify:
 
  • Your economic impact
  • Operational leverage points

  • Market positioning gaps

Step 2: Executive Asset Development

You receive:
 
  • Executive-level resume (KPI & outcome-driven)
  • Optimized LinkedIn profile

Step 3: Market Execution Plan

We build:
 
  • Target role clarity
  • Recruiter messaging scripts
  • Outreach strategy
  • Compensation positioning strategy

You leave with clarity, confidence, and market leverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Executive Career Strategy?
Executive Career Strategy is a structured, high-level approach to planning, positioning, and advancing your leadership career. Unlike traditional career coaching, executive career strategy focuses on C-suite positioning, board readiness, compensation strategy, leadership branding, and long-term influence.

It helps senior leaders align their experience, visibility, and professional narrative with targeted executive opportunities.

Who is Executive Career Strategy designed for?
Executive Career Strategy is designed for:
 
  • C-suite leaders and senior executives
  • Vice Presidents and Directors preparing for executive promotion
  • Executives transitioning industries
  • Leaders pursuing board of director roles
  • Founders preparing for advisory or portfolio careers
  • High-performing operators seeking strategic career clarity

If you are responsible for enterprise-level outcomes, this service is built for you.

How is executive career strategy different from executive career coaching?
Executive career coaching often focuses on leadership development and performance improvement within your current role.

Executive Career Strategy focuses on:
 
  • Market positioning
  • Executive brand clarity
  • Career transition planning
  • Board and advisory readiness
  • Strategic networking alignment
  • High-level compensation negotiation

It is proactive and market-facing, not just internally developmental.

When should I consider an Executive Career Strategy engagement?
You should consider executive career strategy support if you are:
 
  • Preparing for a C-suite move
  • Planning a career transition within 12–24 months
  • Seeking board or advisory roles
  • Unsure how to position your experience at the executive level
  • Experiencing stalled advancement despite strong performance
  • Exploring a portfolio or consulting career

Strategic positioning is most effective before you need it.

What does the Executive Career Strategy process include?
While engagements are tailored, most executive career strategy services include:
 
  • Executive value proposition development
  • Leadership narrative and brand positioning
  • Executive resume and LinkedIn optimization
  • Board bio development (if applicable)
  • Strategic networking roadmap
  • Interview and compensation strategy
  • Career mapping and succession planning guidance

Every engagement is confidential and customized to your goals.

How long does the Executive Career Strategy process take?
Most engagements range from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on scope and objectives. Some executives choose ongoing advisory support for longer-term career planning, board positioning, or succession strategy.

Do you help with board of director positioning?
Yes. Executive Career Strategy often includes board readiness and positioning support, including:
 
  • Board biography development
  • Governance-focused resume alignment
  • Board value articulation
  • Advisory and portfolio pathway planning
  • Network targeting for board opportunities

Board placement is strategic and relationship-driven — we help you prepare accordingly.

Can Executive Career Strategy help if I’m not actively job searching?
Absolutely.

Many executives engage in career strategy work while successfully employed. Strategic positioning, visibility, and leadership branding should be ongoing — not reactive.

The strongest executive transitions happen from a position of strength.

Is Executive Career Strategy confidential?
Yes. All conversations, materials, and strategic planning discussions are handled with strict confidentiality. Executive-level career discussions require discretion and professionalism.

What results can I expect?
While outcomes vary by individual, clients often achieve:
 
  • Clear executive positioning and career direction
  • Increased visibility and recruiter engagement
  • Stronger executive interview performance
  • Higher compensation negotiation confidence
  • Expanded board and advisory opportunities
  • Accelerated progression to senior leadership roles

The goal is alignment between your leadership value and the right opportunity.

How do I get started with Executive Career Strategy?
The first step is a confidential consultation to discuss:
 
  • Your current role
  • Your long-term executive goals
  • Your target market positioning
  • Immediate and future opportunities

From there, a tailored executive career strategy plan is developed.
