About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design and own the outcome of the continuous performance management system.
Finalize the three axes (results / skills and AI leverage / teamwork), their weights, scales, and thresholds for moving between A, B, and C.
Map out where the system pulls data for each axis (e.g., Notion, Slack, GitHub).
Design the monthly loop including what runs automatically and how each person sees their grade and track.
Create individual dashboards for tracking performance and grade while providing templates for individual plans.
Conduct a pilot on two competencies, collect feedback, refine, and roll out to the full team.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You've built performance systems for teams of 30 to 150 people, ideally in product startups at late Seed or Series A stage.
You understand the difference between performance management in a traditional company and in a tiny team. If your resume is all Fortune 500, this is probably not the right fit.
You're comfortable in data. Excel, SQL, Notion API at a level where you can build prototypes yourself instead of waiting on an analyst.
Experience building grading systems, talent review, 9 box or similar is a plus. Experience turning a manual Excel process into a working automated one is a big plus.
Working English. Russian is nice to have but not required.

Benefits

Comp & perks

Pay: a fixed project fee plus a bonus tied to the definition of done (v1 live and adoption of 80% or higher one month after launch). Exact number gets discussed on the call. The benchmark is a senior People Ops consultant market rate.

Contract: B2B or equivalent depending on your jurisdiction.
