I am a survivor of many re-orgs at the same company.

   I would only list the most recent title and put all your experience underneath. If the titles & responsibility shifts were minor then there is no need to break them out separately.

   The fact that it is the same company plays in your favor.

   Disclaimer: I'm not a resume writer (I'm in HR and I have always struggled with writing my own resume).

   Keep it simple. If a few titles are very similar and roles are very similar, keep one or two on there. You do not need to list every single responsibility like it's a job description. Zero on key responsibilities. Has the company changed names over this time as well or just internal structure? I would even consider utilizing AI to rework your resume (this is a back and forth, this is not you feeding info in and getting a result back and forth, there is constant tweaking to get to a good spot).

   You have some good advice here, but the OP should make sure she lists the responsibilities as accomplishments. Rather than saying "responsible for onboarding," say "Onboarded x-y employees per month for z months/years," or something similar.

   You're just going to have to combine some job titles, maybe up to 3.

   List the job titles that sound the most advanced at the top to show career progression. Align that with the more prestigious responsibilities.

   For instance, I was hired as a "Operational Business Analyst" and also took on part-time process improvement initiatives, but then my role changed into more financial analysis than operational performance analysis.

   If I wanted to continue to apply to finance positions, I would have relabeled my role as "Finance and Operations Analyst". Since I was more interested in process analysis, I relabeled my role to "Operations Analyst/Process Improvement Advisor"

   When I got a job in software implementation, I was hired as a "Business Process Analyst" which basically didn't describe my role at all, so applying for my next technical job I had to list "Business Analyst, System Implementation" and wrote "Technical business analyst in a business system implementation..." as my top-line description leading into my responsibilities and accomplishments.

   ChatGPT will help you figure something suitable out.

   I would select the one job title that is most likely to get the kinds of roles that you want in your next one. Use that as a global title for the time you were there and leave the conversation about many managers and titles to when you interview as a reason for making a move. The one that you use should align with most of the titles for what you see advertised in the places you want to go. 9 years is a long run!

   In your first screening call or interview you can say something like the motivator for making a move is the constant reorganization within the company and movement of my first level leadership. Here is what I accomplished despite those regular changes. (Fill in amazing work here) You are not a product of what the company has been doing. Perhaps when you screen your potential next employer you can ask them if they have ever had an reorganizations and what cause those pivots. Bigger companies tend to do this. I also often suggest to ask whether the company is technology/product driven or market driven. If they are market driven they tend to do reorgs a lot because they are constantly shifting to make more money. If they are product driven and their product is solid and not an MVP (minimum viable product) then they might have less internal movement if their product is selling well into the market.
   In your resume lump all the skills into that one bucket in order of what you do most at the top of the list and what you want to do least at the bottom. If you were strategic and did anything to help shape the overall company or more than just your department show that featured. If you were mostly tactical (hands-on) write out the things you excelled at in the description. If there was any career progression within the time you were there show more than one title. Combining all of these things into one is fine since you did not change companies during the 9 year period.
