Job architecture is the framework for understanding roles and their hierarchy within a company. In Lattice, job architecture is a combination of fields that determine an employee’s job track and level in Grow and compensation band in our Compensation tool.
Job architecture is available as three default fields in Lattice:
Job function: the type of work being done by a group of employees
I.e., Product Design, Sales Development, Content Marketing
Job type: The category of career paths at a company
I.e., Support, Individual Contributor, Management, Executive
Job level: Indicates a level, usually within a specific Job Type
I.e., IC1, IC2, IC3, M1, M2
Note: Although the Compensation suite will require job architecture setup, job architecture will remain completely optional for Grow. Therefore, admins can still manually add and remove employees from a track.
