Job Level
About the role
- Build and operate Overjet’s performance management system, from goal-setting and reviews to feedback and consequences, with clarity and rigor.
- Partner with the CEO, Head of People & Talent, and senior leaders to define what “great” looks like at every level for each role - and make it observable and measurable.
- Drive company-wide performance cycles (goals, reviews, calibration) that are lightweight, trusted, and biased toward action.
- Use data to surface performance trends, talent risks, and organizational bottlenecks - and push leaders to confront them.
- Continuously refine performance systems to support scale, speed, and excellence without bureaucracy.
Requirements
- Ability to run an iterative, world-class performance management system in high-growth, high-standard organization.
- Strong judgment and backbone. This role will be a bar-raiser for Overjet employees demonstrating and instilling our values. Doing that will require you to be comfortable often telling hard truths and defending what’s right over what’s easy. It will require you to make recommendations having to do with both promoting employees and exiting them from the organization - heavy decisions that carry real weight.
- Analytical mindset with the ability to translate qualitative performance into clear signals and decisions.
- Deep understanding of how People systems, incentives, and culture shape real-world outcomes.
- Operator’s mentality: you care deeply about whether the system you are implementing actually works at making Overjet one of the highest performing organizations in the world and will iterate on it until it does.
