Tech company org chart template
Software and SaaS companies share a recognisable shape: a leadership team, a product-and-engineering organization split into teams, and a go-to-market side covering sales, marketing, and customer success. This template starts there, ready for your own names and teams.

Most tech companies between 20 and 500 people are built from the same parts:
- Leadership: CEO, with a CTO or VP of Engineering, a head of product, and heads of the commercial functions.
- Engineering: split into teams by product area or platform, each with an engineering manager.
- Product and design: product managers and designers, often paired with specific engineering teams.
- Go-to-market: sales, marketing, and customer success, sometimes under a single revenue leader.
- Operations: finance, people, and legal, usually small until the company scales.
Matrix relationships
Tech companies are rarely a pure tree. A designer may report to the head of design but work every day with one product team; a product manager may lead a squad of engineers who report to an engineering manager. Draw the permanent line of management as the tree and add dotted reporting lines for the day-to-day ones. That keeps the chart readable while still showing how teams really work.
Charting a growing engineering organization
Engineering is usually where the chart grows fastest. Keep an eye on each manager's span of control: once a manager has more than eight to ten direct reports, it is usually time to split the team. Adding open roles to the chart shows where the next team leads are needed.

Frequently asked questions
How do I show product teams or squads on a tech org chart?
Keep people under their line manager and use the department column for their squad or product area, so each team is colour-coded. Use dotted lines for cross-team relationships such as a product manager's squad.
Where should product management sit on the org chart?
Either under a head of product reporting to the CEO, or under a combined product and engineering leader. Draw whichever matches who actually hires and manages product managers.
