At Filmhub, we focus on levels rather than traditional job title hierarchy (Senior, Director, VP, SVP, etc.) to foster a culture of clarity, flexibility, and collaboration.

We realize people still need to understand how they can grow in their roles, so we assign levels. Individual Team member levels are not publicly shared within the company but are used as a tool between team leads and their reports to drive performance and compensation conversations. This way, your personal brand drives how people know you, not your “title.”

Why do we use Levels and not Titles?

• Emphasizes Impact Over Hierarchy:
  • Levels prioritize the scope and impact of work rather than status or titles.
  • This approach reduces the hierarchy and promotes a more inclusive, team-oriented environment.
• Facilitates Growth and Development:
  • Levels provide a clear framework for career progression based on skills and contributions, not rigid roles.
  • Team members know what’s expected to advance, enabling personal and professional growth.
• Encourages Flexibility:
  • Titles can pigeonhole team members into narrow roles, whereas levels allow for broader contributions across teams.
  • This adaptability is especially important in a fast-paced startup like Filmhub.
• Supports Fair Compensation:
  • Levels align with transparent compensation structures, ensuring fair pay based on responsibility and impact, not title prestige.

Management and individual contributors are compensated equally, even though their roles and responsibilities differ. Filmhub equalizes management and Individual Contributors (ICs) to remove incentives to choose one over the other. Both paths have a clear path set for them within Filmhub, and they contribute to the overall team's success in important and unique ways

Filmhub uses a 9-level job structure designed to create clarity, equity, and consistency across roles within the organization. It provides a framework that categorizes jobs into levels based on responsibility, impact, and skill requirements. Each level represents a step in career progression, starting from entry-level roles and advancing to senior leadership positions. The structure helps ensure transparency in career development, equitable compensation, and alignment across teams.
