no big deal, but perhaps worth leaving executive in, and adding founder additionally
I don't have a strong feeling on that, though I'm unsure the value in keeping 'Executive' and what we'd use that for?
I'd add Founder and change Executive (too corporate) to Leadership (which will help us differentiate CPO, CTOs who are non founders - useful for the CS team)
As long as introducing more options is useful 👌
Fine with this, though there was also a request to add "Marketing" as an option, so we'd be adding two more options, at which point the list is feeling fairly long. Could combine CS & Sales, or just leave Marketing out (those people just fall into "Other").
Summary of field usage:
I'd say leave marketing out. Will try and add this to my to-do list 👌
Please can we keep marketing in as an option? We use it in ICP scoring and evaluating prospects as it's a strong indicator that someone might struggle with PostHog, which changes our approach to demos etc.
As per @simfish85, I had a separate issue where adding Marketing was suggested: https://github.com/PostHog/meta/issues/113
I think there's a strong case for it:
The latest in what has been a day full of product-based changes and PRs ☝️
Reopening this, as I think we may be at a point where it's worth removing the Leadership role.
Also want to point out an interesting correlation here: We introduced 'Founder' as an option and 'Engineering' and 'Leadership' both dropped. Seems like there's a very strong chance that the difference between the
two will specifically be CTOs or technical founders - a persona we don't specifically cater to, but could be quite sizable in our initial users.
Either way, the rationale for keeping 'Leadership' (previously 'Executive') was that it helps CS by identifying CTOs and CEOs - but my read on the data here is that we can actually just rely on Founder instead.
This is a quick RFC to discuss something that came up in a recent Marketing brainstorm.
We'd normally just PR it in, but wanted a quick alignment with Growth (CC @raquelmsmith) to think about the best way to do it and because most of the proposed change would happen off-GitHub (and therefore invisibly).
Also tagging @camerondeleone and @simfish85 as FYI

What we're proposing is that we:

This would in turn address the problem that the PostHog for Startups program is currently quite hidden and difficult to find across the site.
