Small teams
We've organised the team into small teams that are multi-disciplinary and as self-sufficient as possible. You can read about why we've done it this way.
Our small teams are:
- Product Analytics
- Experimentation
- Session Recording
- Infrastructure
- Pipeline
- Marketing
- Website and Docs
- Growth
- People & Ops
- Customer Success
- Exec
Reporting lines
We maintain our full org chart in Roots, which you can access here.

Organization changes
We’re still an early stage company, and so is our product. We strongly value moving and shipping fast (see core values) and we constantly iterate not only our product but our organization too. As this happens, it may be quite possible that organizational changes occur. This mostly happens at the small teams level. To make the changes smoother for everyone, here’s the checklist we use:
- Discuss with relevant team leads (and/or managers if applicable).
- Discuss with relevant team member(s).
- Open a PR on
posthog.comdocumenting the change on the handbook.- Update the Team structure page.
- Let everyone else in the company know in the next PostHog News session.
- Add/remove from relevant Sentry teams.
- Add/remove from relevant GitHub teams.
- Add/remove from Slack
@groups / team mentions (e.g.@core-experience).
Team Lead checklist
- Onboarding 1:1 with new team member.
- Add to stand-ups, planning sessions, and any other team rituals.
- Update Slack channel description, and invite to Slack channel if needed.
