Sound familiar?

The pattern we see over and over

Job titles were handed out ad hoc, so two people doing the same work have completely different titles.

There is no defined leveling, so pay and promotion conversations turn into arguments instead of decisions.

Employees cannot see a career path, so your best people leave for companies that can show them one.

Comp benchmarking is impossible because there is no consistent structure to benchmark against.

The framework

The Job Architecture & Leveling Framework

We group every role into job families, then define clear levels within each family, from entry level through to leadership. Each level has defined scope, decision rights and typical experience, so it is obvious where a role sits and what the next one looks like.

The result is a single structure you can use for hiring, pay bands, promotions and career conversations, instead of five inconsistent answers depending on who you ask.

How it works

Audit current roles and titles

We pull every existing title and role and map what people are actually doing versus what their title says.

Define job families

We group roles into logical families, for example Commercial, Operations, Support, based on the type of work, not the org chart.

Build the leveling framework

We define levels within each family with clear scope, decision rights and experience benchmarks.

Map every role to a level

Every existing role gets mapped into the new structure, so there is a clear before-and-after picture.

Handover and career ladder documentation

We hand over the full framework plus career ladder maps, with optional AI-assisted job description generation for future roles.

What affects the cost?

Every engagement is scoped to your business. Book a free call and we will give you a clear scope and proposal, nothing left to guesswork.

Number of job families

A framework covering one function looks different from one covering the whole business.

Number of existing roles to map

More existing roles means more mapping work to fit them into the new structure.

AI-assisted job description generation

Whether you want AI support to keep job descriptions consistent with the framework going forward.

Frequently asked questions

Job architecture is the underlying structure of job families and levels that defines how roles relate to each other, what each level means, and how people progress.

If you are past 15-20 employees and starting to hire across departments, this is usually the point where title and pay inconsistencies start costing you good people.

No. It gives your HR system, or spreadsheet, a consistent structure to run on. We do not replace your existing tools.
