What do you find are the job titles for these roles? Are they just "regular" job titles (e.g., "software engineer") and product skills are what might differentiate you enough to get the job?

I think some of the standard ones - program and business operations manager - are a couple generic examples I’ve seen where the skills seem to overlap. In the companies I’ve worked in, they often are business leaders that are de facto roles. The directors and VPs of marketing as example.

Like many folks, I can’t say what the silver bullet is to get interviews and jobs but reading enough job descriptions, stakeholder management, roadmapping, and change management are a few sub-skills that seem to play nicely.

preach! this statement is IT. with the speed things are changing, we get more ROI from our relationships, expertise, and perspectives vs the job title.
