NEXT Careers’ Post

“I’m a seasoned and detail-oriented executive looking for a mission-driven company with a great culture in a space I’m excited about.” 😆 ^^ example of what NOT to say if you’re looking for your next thing. This gives the other person no real information about you or what opportunities to send your way. Try the Mission-Sector-Stage-Role framework instead. It turns your advocates into referral sources for job opportunities. Mission: What matters to you most in your next chapter? Sector: What industry, sector or problem space are you targeting? Stage: How big of a company would you like to join? Role: What would you like to spend your time doing? Some examples: - Series A-C climatetech startups where I can continue leading Product - 3x VP Growth at early-stage consumer marketplace businesses - Targeting a growth-stage B2B SaaS startup leading Strategic Finance while learning from a killer CFO - Early-stage generalist passionate about using AI to improve the accuracy of medical procedures - VP Eng for fintech startups, usually around Series B when they’re figuring out how to scale Empower your #networking contacts to help you: be specific about what you want next using the MSSR framework.
