How do I deal with a job no one seems to understand?
You sit in the space between three teams and belong to none. That is a strange, lonely spot. People only notice a bridge when it is missing, and your work is a bridge. It holds things together quietly, which is exactly why it is easy to overlook. The fact that no one can neatly describe your job does not mean it has no worth. It means you do work that does not fit in a box. Product, sales, and marketing all move a little smoother because you are there. That is real, even when no one says thank you. Start by naming what you do for yourself, in plain words. Write down the three things you made possible this month. Then share one of them with someone who benefited. You are not begging to be understood. You are simply reminding the world, and yourself, that the bridge is there for a reason.
