# Add and manage job families

Job families are sub‑groups within a job function. They organize related roles that share similar responsibilities, skills, and career progression. Creating job families provides structure that helps employees understand how their roles fit into the broader function and how they can grow within it.

Admins can add and manage job families.

**📒Note:** You must create a job function before you can add a job family.

Use job families to:

- Group related job titles under a common function
- Provide clarity on role responsibilities and progression
- Align job titles with organizational structure and career paths

### **Add a job family**

Navigate to **Settings \> Talent Frameworks**.

If you have an active subscription to Engagedly's Growth app, you can also access Talent Frameworks from **Apps \> Growth \> Settings**.

1. Go to **Career Framework** and ensure it is enabled.
2. In the “Job titles” section, click **Manage**.

     3.  Under a job function, go to the “JOB FAMILIES” section.

     4.  Click the **Plus ![plus grey](https://help.engagedly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/plus%20grey.png?width=19&height=20&name=plus%20grey.png)**icon.

     5.  Enter a title and description.

     6.  Click **Add** to save.

After you click “Manage”, the system opens the career path framework page with default prompts.

**💡Tip:** Select a prompt to use Engagedly’s AI assistant, Marissa, to help you categorize job families.
