It depends on where you’re starting from. In general, the easiest way is to join a smaller, high growth organization where you can grow into the role and then transfer to a large company. I recommend being very clear about your expectations upfront so you don’t end up somewhere that never could accommodate that growth. You may have to go above a Director role (e.g. Sr Director or VP) in order to transfer to a director role at some companies (e.g. FAANG).
Alternatively, you could join a large tech company and try to grind your way up the ladder. That will depend a lot on your ability to navigate complicated politics and deliver on impactful projects.
