The CV move is straightforward: convert tool claims into business examples. "Built Tableau dashboard" is weaker than "built a sales dashboard used by a regional lead to reprioritise accounts." "Used Python" is weaker than a project where Python changed a forecast, a workflow, or a client decision.
What this means for you
If you are early-career, target analyst lanes first: ZS analytics consulting, Adobe business analyst, Genpact technology advisory, BCG data analyst or Cognizant data/product roles. Bring one clean project and one business explanation.
If you are mid-career, the best bridge is consulting plus analytics. Put your strongest client, operations, growth, data or transformation story in the top half of the CV.
If you are senior, focus on ownership roles: AI business solutions, cloud/data architecture, client experience, account growth, responsible AI or transformation leadership.
