The first team
Name the initial mandate, lead role and specialist skills. Define how candidates will be evaluated and who makes the hiring decision.
Workspace & access
Decide which work calls for an office and which can be hybrid or remote. Agree who provides equipment, grants access and supports the team.
Working with headquarters
Choose shared hours for planning, decisions and handoffs. Set written conventions for reviews, releases and escalations across time zones.
Local operating responsibilities
Decide who employs the team, runs payroll and handles workspace and local administration. A client-owned center can also call for specialist entity and compliance support.
