Yes. Recruiters care about the work you actually did, not only the label on your business card. A meaningful strategy project can be strong evidence if your contribution was real and you can explain the scope clearly.

Keep the official title accurate, then use the bullets to show the strategy work: the question you solved, analyses you owned, stakeholders you influenced, and the decision or impact that followed. Do not rename yourself "Strategy Manager" if that was not your role.

For example, an operations analyst who built a market-entry model for a leadership task force can absolutely highlight that project. The resume should make clear it was part of the role rather than a separate job.

Use the project as one of your strongest transferable examples and be ready to discuss it in depth. The experienced-hire consulting guide can help frame non-consulting experience for consulting recruiting.

This is basically how I framed my move. Official title stayed the same, bullets showed the strategy work.

Yeah, scope matters more than title here imo.

Would you put the project in the first bullet even if most of the rest of the job was ops?
