I would caution leaders from assigning C-suite or even VP/ Director titles when you’re a small organization, unless you plan to stay small. If you do plan on growing, I would encourage you to think about being conservative with the job titles so that your staff has somewhere to go and somewhere to grow, as well as allowing room to bring on other team members at various levels, without disrupting the commitment and loyalty of some of your original staff. Clear titles can eliminate unnecessary internal conflict.
