Optro

. Develop Optro’s performance philosophy.

Posted 4/23/2026full-timeRemote • 🇺🇸 United StatesSeniorLead💰 $105,600 - $145,200 per yearWebsite

About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Develop Optro’s performance philosophy. Shift from "compliance-based reviews" to "impact-based conversations" (e.g., continuous feedback, and bi-annual formal check-ins).
  • Partner with PBPs to lead calibration sessions, ensuring performance ratings are equitable, bias-free, and consistent across different regions and functions.
  • Create the "How-To" for leaders—equipping them to have difficult performance radical-candor conversations and to set high-bar expectations.
  • Implement a global talent assessment model (e.g., 9-Box) to identify high-potential employees.
  • Build and maintain the "bench" for critical roles, ensuring we have a clear internal pipeline.
  • Design "High-Potential Programs" to retain and grow our top 5–10% of talent.
  • Collaborate with the Comp/Total Rewards team to ensure performance ratings directly and transparently influence merit increases, bonuses, and equity grants.
  • Define the criteria for "Readiness" vs. "Performance" to ensure promotions are based on future capability, not just past tenure.
  • Partner with PBPs to define what "Good," "Great," and "Exceptional" look like for every job family.
  • Build visual career paths so every employee at every level knows exactly what skills they need to reach the next "rung" of the ladder.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • 7+ years in Talent Management or HRBP roles, with a proven track record of designing performance systems for high-growth global companies.

  • High EQ; able to challenge a senior leader on their team’s ratings while maintaining a strong partnership.
  • Comfortable using talent data to predict turnover risks and identify "leadership gaps."
  • Preference for candidates with Workday Talent experience.
  • Ability to navigate complex, ambiguous situations by balancing legal risks with cultural impact, consistently making objective decisions that uphold our high-performance standards.
  • Ability to translate complex legal requirements into actionable advice, and comfortable delivering difficult news or coaching senior leaders through sensitive issues.
  • Experience working within a fast-growing SaaS or tech company.
