The taxonomy for organizing data on jobs/positions is hierarchical and follows this structure:
Job Family Group
Job Family
Job Profile
Here are the definitions of each:
Job Family Group | The broadest category of classification. Examples of Job Family Groups include Academic and Administrative/Professional. It contains a set of related job families. |
Job Family | Broad groupings of jobs that perform similar functions such as Human Resources. Job Family is a set of related job profiles. |
Job Profile | Describes general characteristics of a position and identify special skills, management level, exempt status, grade/band (if applicable) and / or other qualifications. Each position or job is assigned a Job Profile. |
