Two Ways to Build a RevOps Function

The path you choose in Year 1 determines what you're fixing in Year 3.

✕ Building Blind

→Hire 2–3 RevOps people into undefined roles
→Buy tools before knowing what you actually need
→Hope the team figures it out — and most of it lives in their heads
→New leader walks in and says "I don't understand how this works"
→Rebuild. Again.

✓ Architecture-First

→Engage a fractional architect to design the function
→Define roles, data model, processes, and stack before you hire
→Hire into a system that works — not into a blank canvas
→Clean handoff: documentation, ownership, institutional memory
→New leader inherits a system they can run and adapt
