Position Management: Organize Your Company’s Roles

The Position Management section helps you set up and manage all roles and career paths in your organization. A clear position hierarchy is fundamental for effective recruitment, performance evaluation, compensation planning, and employee development.


Position management includes these four core components:

Positions: Here, you create and manage all the job roles in your company.

Career Levels: Within this tab, you define steps in a career (e.g., Junior → Senior → Team Lead) to show experience, responsibility, and impact.

Career Tracks: This is an area for defining the directions of professional growth within a Job Family, such as the Managerial Track or a Strategy Track.

Job Family: Group roles that share common functions and skills (e.g., Engineering, Finance, HR), which then anchor the Levels and Tracks to create a comprehensive career model.

Positions

Within the Positions tab, you see the list of all job roles in the company, along with their relevant Career Tracks (e.g., IC Track or Strategy) and Job Families (e.g., Finance or Engineering).

You can filter the list by Active or Archived status, Career Track, or Job Family. You can also sort the positions by Position Name (A-Z or Z-A).

To manage the list, use the Edit and Delete icons next to each entry, and click the Add Position button to create a new role.

Note: Before creating a new Position, ensure that the corresponding Career Tracks and Job Families have already been established in their respective tabs.

Creating a Position

To create a position:

  1. Go to the Settings ⚙ → Company Structure → Position Management 
  2. Select the Positions tab and click the Add Position button
In the opened sidebar, fill in the following fields:

      3. Click the Add button to save the new position.
Note: A position can only be permanently deleted if it has never been used in the platform.  If the position has ever been used (i.e., assigned to a current or former employee, or used in an approval flow), the system will automatically archive it instead of permanently deleting it.
