Emerging Role-Title Tracker
Searches the web weekly for brand-new job titles a competitor has never posted before, infers which capability or initiative they signal, and logs each first-sighting to Notion.

What it does
New job titles are the cleanest tell of a strategy pivot: the first "Forward-Deployed Engineer" or "Head of AI Safety" posting reveals an initiative before any press release. This workflow searches for a competitor's live job titles each week, diffs them against every title it has seen historically, and surfaces only the genuinely new ones with an inferred explanation.
When to use it
Use it to catch capability bets early — a competitor staffing up a new function, entering regulated markets, or building a category you don't yet cover. Best for a focused set of rivals where title novelty matters more than raw volume.
How it works
- 1A weekly schedule starts the run.
- 2Exa runs a site-scoped search for the competitor's current open job titles.
- 3The pipeline compares the returned titles against the historical title set stored in Notion.
- 4A logic step keeps only titles never seen before.
- 5OpenAI classifies each new title into an initiative theme and writes a short rationale.
- 6Each first-sighting is appended to a Notion database with date, title, theme, and rationale for the trend log.
