Design the org for scaling from [CURRENT HEADCOUNT] to [TARGET HEADCOUNT] over [TIMEFRAME]. Company: [DESCRIPTION]. Revenue: [$]. Functions today: [LIST]. Return: Target org chart at end state (roles, reports to, span of control) Which roles to hire in what order — sequenced by revenue milestone, not headcount Where to hire manager of managers vs stay flat The 3 hires people over index on but shouldn't (usually: senior marketing, COO, VP Eng) The 3 hires people delay too long (usually: recruiter 1, finance lead, security owner) Signals I'm about to over hire a function The org anti pattern of my current stage Keep it opinionated. Generic org design killed more startups than it saved.
