Core Responsibilities

  • Own how we do performance, as our subject-matter expert.
  • Keep it simple: clarity over process, honest conversations over paperwork, and technology used to remove friction, not add bureaucracy.
  • Help every function apply that consistently, and design the assets that support it, directly or through partners.
  • Lead communications and stakeholder engagement through our performance cycles, and work with the compensation team to connect performance to reward.
  • Bring the same approach to feedback, and step into leadership and onboarding when the team needs you.
  • Review and shape work built by the wider team at HQ, and carry it forward in the region.
  • Understand what the NAMER region actually needs, and make sure our work solves the right problems, not just the ones HQ sees.

What You’ll Need

  • 10+ years across talent, people, or related fields where you've built and scaled programs.
  • Real depth in performance management, and enough range across the wider talent space to lean in where you're needed.
  • A habit of defining success and reporting on it, calibration outcomes, time-to-productivity, onboarding NPS, whatever tells you it's working.
  • Fluency with technology and AI, and the instinct to build with them.
  • Clarity to ambiguous, fast-moving situations rather than needing it handed to you.
  • Willingness to travel internationally, and to work flexible hours with counterparts across global time zones.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience building people programs in a hypergrowth environment (e.g., rapid headcount scaling, multiple new-market launches).
  • Experience working within or implementing HRIS/people systems (e.g., Workday, Greenhouse).
  • Exposure to international workforce operations (e.g., EMEA/APAC coordination, cross-border onboarding or compliance nuances).
