EM Growth is replaced with a Fullstack Manager specialty

Phil Calder requested to merge pcalder-remove-fs-manager-growth into master

Why is this change being made?

The Engineering Manager Growth job family is no longer used

Existing EMs for Growth were:

  • first moved to Backend EMs (there was talk of a Growth/Fullstack speciality being created)
  • later moved to Fullstack Managers (ogininally proposed as a combined manager, when this was changed to Fullstack it aligned better with Growth EMs actual role)

I think this file just got left behind. MR removes it and the job family entry, and adds Growth specialty to Fullstack Manager.

Approvals (as this introduces a specialty)

https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/hiring/job-families/#approval-flow

  • Manager @whaber
  • Executive @edjdev
  • Recruiting @Kellymurdock
  • CEO @sid
    • while CEO reviews, mention @gl-total-rewards

Note there are already four specialties for Growth in BambooHR (one for each group) - this MR merely adds Growth as a specialty to the job family.

Merged with 1 follow up issue to discuss engineering manager naming convention #11757 (closed) - this MR retains the status quo.
