"The CEO of OnlyFans has a rule on how to rake in big bucks with a tiny team: don't hire middle managers. Keily Blair, OnlyFans' chief executive, spoke with Jeff Berman, the host of the Masters of Scale podcast, during the November Web Summit technology conference in Lisbon. Blair said in the interview that OnlyFans, a subscription-based content platform founded in 2016, has only 42 full-time employees."
"Blair said she was proud of her team, which she called a "pretty efficient bunch." The key to this, she said, was to eliminate middle management roles in the company. "So we hire incredibly senior talent, and then we hire incredibly hungry junior talent, and we look for attitude and aptitude in hiring rather than experience," she said. "And we do not have that sort of squidgy layer of middle management in the middle,"
OnlyFans operates with 42 full-time employees and reports roughly $7 billion in annual revenue. The company maintains a flat structure by eliminating middle management roles. Hiring focuses on incredibly senior talent and hungry junior hires, prioritizing attitude and aptitude over experience. There is no manager career track; every employee functions as an individual contributor capable of delivering exceptional results alone. Small teams and solo contributors are explicitly valued over traditional team-size metrics for leaders. OnlyFans began as a subscription-based content platform and has become closely associated with adult, NSFW content, reflecting broader industry flattening trends.
