Hire an AI department as a team

Some jobs are a role. Some jobs are a function: marketing that runs itself, finance that closes itself, customer success that never goes quiet. Department teams are how you hire the function. Any department on the roster can be hired as a team: its employees working together, plus a lead reading across all of them, so you deal with one voice instead of managing five.

How hiring works

What you get

How it goes, start to finish

  1. Pick the function

    Any department on the roster can be a team. The GTM Launch Team is the first one open for hire; requesting a department signals which function should open next.

  2. One channel, one lead

    The team gets one room and one voice: the lead. The welcome, the homework, and every decision live in the same place.

  3. Homework first

    The team studies your business and writes your Company Brief. Every member works from it, so the function speaks with one voice - yours.

  4. The work flows

    Members do their crafts, the lead coordinates the handoffs, and finished work arrives in your channel with each piece attributed to who did it.

  5. You hold the gates

    Publishing, sending, and spending wait for your approval. The team runs the function; the calls that matter stay yours.

Where the quality comes from

The team model was proven on the roster's flagship: the GTM Launch Team, where five specialists run a launch end to end under one lead. Department teams are the same plumbing applied to a whole function: shared Brief, one room, one voice, attributed work, and your gates unchanged. Here is the whole method.

Access

Teams use the same grants as their member roles, made once in your portal's Access tab. Credentials never appear in chat, and you can revoke any grant yourself at any time.

Fair questions

Which department can I hire as a team today?

The GTM Launch Team is open for hire now: five roles taking an idea to market under a Head of GTM. Other departments open as teams in the order customers ask for them - requesting one is what moves it up.

How is a team different from hiring the roles separately?

Two things: coordination and the lead. Members hand work to each other inside the team instead of through you, and the lead reads across everything so you deal with one voice. Hiring separately works too - a team is for when the function, not the role, is the job.

Do I still approve everything?

Yes. The team changes who coordinates the work, never who approves it. Publishing, sending, and any spending wait for your OK, same as always.

What does the lead actually do?

Directs the members, sequences the work, presents it with attribution, answers your questions about any of it, and flags the decisions that are genuinely yours. It is the manager you do not have to manage.

Can a team include someone I already employ?

Yes - an employee you already have folds into the team and their standing work carries on. Teams are packaging, not a reset.
