Use strong verbs like managed and drove instead of assisted or supported. Frame your resume around what you personally accomplished, not what your team did. One or two bullets on team context is fine, but the rest should show your direct impact.

Chapters

I'm not hiring your team. I am hiring you for this role. Always try to say, this is what I did. Don't use the words assisted or supported. I think it needs to be managed this or achieved this or drove this initiative, right? And I'm okay with 1 or 2 bullet points giving me some context of the team you were on, what the team was responsible for doing. I think that's fine. But I think when it comes down to it, you need to give specific action words and take ownership of specific things That you have done.
