The Intentional Career Move - by SoundBoard
The Intentional Career Move:
A morning for ambitious commercial professionals who are ready for more — and want a plan to go get it
The commercial landscape has shifted in ways that most people are still adjusting to. Sales, marketing, and customer success roles have been hit harder than almost any other function in the tech sector over the last two years. Nearly 250,000 tech workers were let go in 2025 alone, and the roles disappearing fastest were the ones most of us were building careers in.
The other side of the story? The professionals who are moving well right now aren't leaving things to chance. They're not just applying and hoping. They've gotten deliberate about what they want, which companies are right for them, and how to go after it with a real strategy.
This morning is about building exactly that.
On the panel:
Global Marketing Leader Christina Jenkins
Senior Sales Leader Steph Maclaurin
Founder, Closers Club Ryan Donaghy
Hosted by Eimear O'Halloran, these are operators who've hired the people that impressed them, made their own pivotal moves, and know what it actually takes to land something you're genuinely excited about.
Expect honest takes on:
How to get clear on what you actually want, not just what's available What companies in this market are really looking for from commercial hires How to position yourself for the roles and organisations that excite you What a deliberate, well-executed job search actually looks like in practice What they'd do differently if they were making their move today
How the morning runs:
8:15–8:30am: Arrive, grab coffee, meet the room
8:30–9:00am: Moderated panel + open Q&A
9:00–9:45am: Small-group advisor breakout sessions
The breakout sessions are where the real value is. You'll rotate through advisors in small groups. Bring the role you're targeting, the company you want to get into, or the direction you're still working out. You'll leave with more clarity on what you want and a sharper plan for going after it.
You will be back at your desk by 10am.
