How to list jobs in the same company on your resume

Your resume is a marketing tool, not a biography. It needs to be factually correct, but also strategically written to present you in the best light. When you’ve held multiple roles at the same company whether you’ve been promoted, moved laterally, or taken on expanded responsibilities, how you list that experience can either boost your profile or confuse the reader. You can decide on the approach to take depending on the scenario you are in and what you want the emphasis to be on.

Scenario 1: You were promoted and you want to showcase career progression

If you started as a Junior Analyst, then became a Senior Analyst, and finally a Team Lead, that’s upward movement worth highlighting. You can show your promotions, growth in responsibilities, and timelines all while keeping the resume clean using this approach:

Company X Aug 18 – Present

• Team Lead Jul 22 – Present
  -......

  -.....

• Senior Analyst Aug 20 – Jul 22
  -....

  -.....

• Junior Analyst Aug 18 – Aug 20
  -....

  -.....

Scenario 2: The Roles Were Similar

If the roles were similar or the role just had more scope or responsibility, there’s no need to repeat everything. This approach shows progression but avoids redundant bullet points and keeps it clean:

Company Y Aug 18 – Present
- Promoted from Junior Analyst to Senior Analyst driving business process improvement initiatives collaborating directly with the executive team.

Scenario 3: Short Time in a senior role or jumped around roles

Let’s say you were promoted to a Team Lead, but only held the title for a few months. You don’t need to spell that out and draw attention to the short tenure. Instead, keep it high level. In the approach below, you’re not hiding anything, you’re just choosing not to overemphasise it. The focus is on your impact and trajectory, not exact dates.

Company Y Aug 18 – Present
-Advanced through multiple roles including Junior Analyst, Senior Analyst, and Team Lead.

-Key achievements include leading cross-functional reporting initiatives, mentoring team members, and implementing data-driven improvements that reduced costs by 15%.

There’s no “one right way” to list multiple roles—but there is a wrong way: being overly literal, cluttered, or confusing. Avoid writing the company name over and over again for each role. It makes it wordy and distracts the reader from your actual achievements.
