Update your current position in your introduction section

Important to know

If the changes to your headline aren't reflected on your LinkedIn homepage, make sure you're editing the correct language profile. If you have a secondary language profile, please edit both so that the changes to your headline is reflected on both.

By default, the introduction section on your profile displays your current position and company as shown in the Experience section of your profile. If you have more than one current position, the one with the most recent start date will be listed first.

If your professional headline and current position are the same, only your current company will be displayed on this line.

To update your current position in your introduction section:

Click the Me icon at top of your LinkedIn homepage.
Click View Profile.
Click the Edit icon in your introduction section.
In the Edit intro pop-up window, under the Current position field, click Add new position and enter your information in the Add experience pop-up window.
Select I am currently working in this role checkbox.
- You can also adjust your notification preferences while you’re making changes to your profile from by switching the toggle in the Notify network section at the top of the Add experience page.
Click Save.

If you have more than one current position, you can choose to display either one of the positions from the dropdown under Current position while editing your introduction section.

LinkedIn automatically groups together positions that were held at the same company. Positions need to be listed within one month of each other in order to be grouped.
