Explore a move by learning about the work
Mobility can include a project, temporary responsibility, cross-team collaboration, or a role change.
Explore the published career-portal openings below and read each vacancy’s stated audience and application instructions. This list does not represent a separate internal-only vacancy feed.
For an internal move, use your organization’s established internal mobility route to confirm the process, eligibility questions, and required conversations. A development discussion or a listing on this page does not guarantee a transfer.
A practical exploration sequence
-
1
Name the work that interests you
Identify a task or problem, such as finding patterns in recurring service issues.
-
2
Compare everyday tasks with your strengths
Ask what people do regularly and which parts use skills you already practice.
-
3
Identify one learning gap
Choose a skill or context you want to understand better before deciding what to pursue.
-
4
Find an appropriate way to learn
Ask about a suitable observation, shared task, or project contribution.
Worked example: a useful cross-team handoff
Fictional Northstar Services scenario: Service Delivery shares a recurring issue with Quality and Improvement.
| Handoff detail | Example | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Issue summary | Several recent requests describe confusion at the same handoff. | State the recurring issue plainly; do not claim a trend from one example. |
| Relevant context | Include appropriate, non-sensitive examples and the step where the confusion appeared. | Give enough context to understand the workflow without sharing unnecessary personal details. |
| Learning question | What further evidence would help determine whether these cases share a cause? | Invite the receiving team to identify what information would be useful next. |
Questions people often ask
Does sideways growth count?
It can. A move into adjacent work may deepen expertise, broaden relationships, or reveal new interests without being a promotion.
Do I need to feel fully ready before exploring?
You can begin by learning about the work and identifying what you would need to practice. Exploration is not a commitment to apply or transfer.
What if there is no relevant role listed?
A vacancy list shows current listed opportunities, not every way to learn about work. Start with a task, skill, or problem that interests you, and ask your manager about a suitable learning activity. Do not treat exploration as evidence that a role is open.
