HR

Role in Specialized
HR handles a more complex org structure—performance management, career pathing, and leadership development. You have formalized processes for reviews, promotions, and possibly even training programs or internal “universities.”

Objectives
Maintain a strong culture as you scale, reduce turnover by keeping employees engaged and offering growth opportunities, and ensure consistent HR compliance across different states or countries (if you’re expanding internationally).

Areas of Specialization
You may introduce a talent development manager or a learning and development (L&D) specialist. You might also have HR business partners aligned with specific departments to tackle people issues proactively.
