How We Redefined Heady’s Engineering Team Structure

Written by Chris Galatioto | Jun 20, 2023 3:10:38 PM

During a period of immense growth at Heady, we recognized an opportunity to optimize the structure of our Engineering team.

Through significant research, extensive conversations with leaders and team members both inside and outside the Engineering department, and the spirit of collaboration that underlies everything we do at Heady, we've engineered a fresh blueprint for our team — a new structure that we believe will support the success of our organization, our clients, and our team members for years to come.

Knowing that many other organizations are or will eventually be in a similar situation, we documented our restructuring process in detail in order to share it as a guide. However, there’s no silver bullet here: Every team is different, and an approach that works for some organizations may not work for all.

Before we dive into our restructuring process, here’s a bit of background on Heady and our previous team structure, as well as what drove us to take a step back, look at the big picture, and make changes to set us up for both present and future success.
