he Seniority filter helps you narrow down your People search to target exactly the right decision-makers.
This filter is especially useful when you want to focus your outreach on specific levels of responsibility within an organization.
Why Use the Seniority Filter
While Ocean.io’s job title filter can include a range of similar roles or related seniorities, the Seniority filter ensures you can precisely control which contacts are shown — helping you refine your results and focus on the most relevant prospects.
Available Seniority Levels
You can filter contacts by any of the following nine seniority levels:
Founder
Board member
C-level
Partner
VP
Head
Director
Manager
Other
💡 Tip: Combine the Seniority filter with Department filters to pinpoint exactly who you want to reach — for example, C-level executives in Marketing or Heads of Sales.
When to Use It
Use the Seniority filter when you want to:
Identify key decision-makers for targeted outreach.
Build persona-based lists for campaigns or account-based marketing.
Exclude junior or unrelated roles to keep your lead lists highly relevant.
