Notion

Hiring steadily

Software Development San Francisco, California Watching 2,278 of ~6,351 employees Updated as of Jul 17

The read

Among 2,278 cached profiles observed, Notion saw near-flat net headcount (+5 over 90 days) but significant leadership churn, with VP-level exits to Anthropic, Fin, Lovable, and Plaud spanning AI solutions, partnerships, and business technology. Sales remains the fastest-growing function (22 observed roles), drawing talent from Salesforce and Slack, while the company backfilled with VPs in enterprise GTM, infrastructure, and commercial legal. Departures to Anthropic, Cognition, Cursor, Harvey, and Google (2 each) suggest Notion is a talent exporter to the AI tooling wave, even as it scales go-to-market for its own AI-augmented workspace play.
