Key takeaways
- The right answer depends on the stage of the company, the complexity of the systems, and whether the team needs strategy, execution, or both.
- Early-stage teams usually need execution muscle.
Hiring a first RevOps leader is a bet on a single person's range. Bringing in a partner is a bet on a team with reps across companies. Neither is wrong — they answer different questions.
What stage are you actually in?
Early-stage teams usually need execution muscle. Scaling teams need strategy plus a system architect. The miss is hiring a strategist when you need a builder, or the reverse.
