Hey, how would you convince the management of a company that is quite new to development to create this position and allocate budget to it?

Big ask! Is this for internal or external?

Either way I would start by presenting a data-backed case.

  • Why do you need this position/team?
  • What does success look like? Is there a specific set or problems you are trying to fix?
  • What does the company look like without this team?
  • What could you do with 1 HC vs. 2 or 3+?

Would be for internal

You can use what I mentioned above along with sprinkling in projects with the current dev team, but be super careful with scoping - "we can do this with x time and x people, but if we had y time and y people we could do this much more".
