## Prompt

```text
Help me define what success looks like for a role before I write a job post or interview anyone. This is step 1 of the 'Run a structured hiring process' pack.

**Role title and team:** [DETAILS]
**Why this role exists now:** [the problem or goal - e.g. "our customer onboarding backlog is 6 weeks"]
**What's happening without this person:** [IMPACT]
**Who they'll work with most:** [ROLES]
**Level and budget range:** [DETAILS]

Produce a success profile:
1. The mission of the role in one sentence.
2. 3-5 outcomes for the first 12 months, each measurable or observable, with what should be done by 30, 90, and 365 days.
3. The 4-6 competencies needed to deliver those outcomes, each defined in a sentence with what it looks like at this level. Separate must-have-on-day-one from can-learn-on-the-job.
4. Requirements to challenge: any credentials, years of experience, or 'culture fit' criteria in my inputs that don't clearly link to an outcome, with a fairer alternative for each.
5. 2-3 deal-breakers, stated as behaviors, not personality traits.

Flag where my inputs are too vague to set a real outcome and ask me for the missing number. Don't invent metrics; use [ADD BASELINE] where needed. Keep it to one page so interviewers can use it as the reference for every later step.
