Future-proof

job architecture — with pay ranges built in.

Build a clear, fair, and scalable role structure designed for growing and larger organizations. Heartpace brings job architecture, objective job evaluation, market pay data, and pay ranges together in one platform — without the spreadsheet chaos and outdated Word files.


Built for growing and larger organizations

As organizations grow — or span multiple legal entities — manual spreadsheets quickly fall short. Disconnected role descriptions create the Reactive Trap: every new role, pay question, and review turns into a one-off investigation instead of an instant answer.

Heartpace replaces that chaos with a shared language for every role — bringing order, clear career paths, and full control for leadership, while keeping you compliant with the EU Pay Transparency Directive.

The building blocks of your job architecture

Objective job evaluation

The engine that measures a role’s real demands on knowledge, problem-solving, and responsibility. It places the role cleanly into a clear matrix of job families, career paths, and pay ranges — giving you a gender-neutral, fair basis for comparing equal and equivalent work, fully ready for the EU Pay Transparency Directive.

Career paths built around your strategy

Build job families and career ladders for both specialists (IC) and leaders (M) entirely around your own strategy.

Built-in market data and your own benchmarks

Compare and validate your pay levels directly against Heartpace market data, or import your own benchmarks with zero friction — giving you full flexibility to stay market-competitive.

Pay ranges per role and EU transparency

Set strategic pay ranges per role ahead of recruitment and career development, while effortlessly meeting the EU Pay Transparency Directive.

One structure across Heartpace

The same role structure is used in Equal Pay, in comparisons against market data, and in future career paths — so you avoid conflicting definitions of what a role is.

Step into the boardroom as a strategic partner

Connect role structure, market pay, and pay ranges in one seamless flow. Every decision rests on the same reliable data — whether it’s a hiring manager, HR, or leadership asking.

Walk into your next board meeting with executive-ready, visual insights that build trust and prove you have full control over your organization’s most important asset.

Frequently asked questions

What is job architecture, and how is it different from pay equity mapping?

Job architecture is the underlying structure: how roles, levels, and career paths fit together. Pay equity mapping shows where pay deviates within that structure. Many customers build the job architecture first, as the foundation that pay equity mapping then measures against.

Do we have to rebuild our entire role structure from scratch?

No. You can start from the roles you already have and refine them into a clearer structure over time — without throwing out what works.

Can we compare pay across the legal entities in our group?

Yes. With one shared role structure, you can compare pay across legal entities on equal terms — the same definition of each role everywhere in the group.
