We’re looking for a Senior Performance Specialist to join our Organizational Development team. In this role, you won’t just manage cycles; you’ll be the architect of our performance management system and the driver of our company-wide skills model. From automating workflows in HiBob to evolving our job architecture, you will ensure that every Macpawian has a clear path to growth and recognition.
If you are a systems thinker who enjoys building complex frameworks from scratch and can turn technical processes into clear, actionable guidance for managers, we’d love to have you on board.
In this role, you will:
-
Own the full performance review cycle: design, calendar, HiBob configuration, calibration facilitation, and post-cycle analysis, building materials, and training that make managers consistent — not just compliant.
-
Design and run probation reviews, back-on-track processes, and mid-year check-ins with clear frameworks and solid documentation standards across geographies.
-
Own the goals-setting cycle end to end — framework design, HiBob tooling, and alignment to company OKRs to help managers set goals that mean something.
-
Maintain and evolve our job architecture — job families, levels, and role definitions that create consistency across the org.
-
Design and maintain our company-wide skills taxonomy — proficiency levels, role mapping, and architecture in HiBob — ensuring it connects to L&D, mobility, and comp decisions so it actually lands with managers and employees.
Skills you’ll need to bring:
-
5+ years of hands-on experience in HR, L&D, or People Programs, with a strong focus on designing or evolving performance management, skills frameworks, and goals/OKR programs at company scale
-
In-depth knowledge of performance management methodologies, goal-setting frameworks (OKRs), and job architecture
-
Strong systems thinking and a solution-oriented mindset to ensure programs interconnect and scale
-
Tech-savvy, with experience configuring people programs in an HRIS (HiBob is a strong plus) and advanced proficiency in Google Sheets/Excel;
-
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with a demonstrated ability to partner cross-functionally and act as a trusted advisor to business leaders;
-
Ability to influence stakeholders across functions and seniority levels, moving from program support to strategic partnership;
-
Data-comfortable and results-driven, with the ability to analyze cycle outcomes, communicate findings to leadership, and manage time effectively;
-
Upper-Intermediate English proficiency (spoken and written)
