How Marketers Use a Career Opportunity Radar

In episode 162 of The Marketing Career Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into a practical career tool: the opportunity radar. Marketers often miss sideways moves because they only scan for job titles or promotions. The radar maps four zones—adjacent skills, adjacent industries, adjacent roles, and adjacent seniority—so you can see openings that aren't obvious. Lucas breaks down how to build one using your existing network, job postings, and your own curiosity, and shares a real example of a brand manager who found a product marketing role in fintech by mapping her radar. Luna chimes in with how she used a simple version of this to move from agency to client side. They also talk about the tension between a radar and a five-year plan, and why the best time to build one is when you're not looking. If you're feeling stuck in your marketing career, this episode gives you a concrete framework to spot your next move before it's posted.
