Series-A tech startup org
Three-level org chart for a ~30-person Series-A startup — CEO with engineering, product, and ops directs, showing open roles and a board advisor.
For the founder / head of people
Scenario
The founder is preparing a hiring plan for the next two quarters and uses this chart in a board update. It shows the current team, the one confirmed open req (Frontend Engineer), one planned-but-not-recruiting slot (Staff Engineer backend), and the board advisor relationship. Indentation communicates reporting lines without drawing edges.

How to read
The single root is the CEO. Each two-space indent step moves one level down the reporting tree. Two kinds of "ghost" slots appear: open nodes (Frontend Engineer) are reqs you are actively hiring for; draft nodes (Staff Backend) are next-quarter plans. The advisor sits outside the tree — not in the reporting chain but formally associated with the org.
