Job Families

Job families group related roles together. For example, the job family "Product Management & Strategy" might contain roles such as Product Manager, Product Owner, and AI Product Manager.

Each job family row displays:

  • Name: The job family name (click to edit)
  • Trend indicator: The overall trend for this family (Growing, Stable, or Declining)
  • Role count: The number of roles within the family
  • Edit/Delete icons: Manage the job family

Click the add button to create a new job family. Enter the name in up to five languages (German, English, French, Japanese, Spanish) and set a trend indicator.

Editing a Job Family

Click the edit icon on a job family row to open the edit dialog. You can modify:

  • Names in all supported languages
  • Trend indicator and reasoning

Deleting a Job Family

Click the delete icon to remove a job family. A confirmation dialog shows how many roles will be affected.

Roles

Roles are listed under their parent job family. Each role row shows:

  • Stable: Consistent demand
  • Declining: Decreasing demand

The trend reasoning explains why the AI assigned a particular trend. Hover over the info icon next to the trend to view it.

Generating Roles with AI

To generate roles automatically:

  1. Ensure your company profile is complete (industry, description, focus areas, strategic context).
  2. Click Regenerate (or Generate if no roles exist).
  3. The AI creates job families and roles based on your company profile, including descriptions and trend indicators.
  4. A progress bar shows the generation status.

The strategic context from your company profile influences how job families are weighted. The more specific your strategic input, the more relevant the generated roles will be.

Transferring Roles to Production

The transfer process moves your staged roles and job families into the productive role catalog. Click Transfer Roles to start the wizard.

Matching Roles

The transfer wizard compares your staged roles against the existing productive catalog:

  • Matched roles: Staged roles that match existing production roles (by name)
  • Unmatched staged roles: New roles not yet in production
  • Orphaned production roles: Production roles that have no matching staged role

Review Dialog

In the review dialog, you can:

  • Confirm matched role pairs
  • Decide how to handle unmatched staged roles (create as new or skip)
  • Decide how to handle orphaned production roles (keep or remove)

Executing the Transfer

After reviewing, confirm the transfer. The system will:

  • Update existing production roles with new data (descriptions, translations, job family assignments)
  • Create new production roles for unmatched staged roles
  • Handle orphaned roles as specified

Roles must be transferred before you can transfer role skill profiles. The role skill profiles tab will show a warning if roles are outdated.
