Director / Senior Director, Performance Management Job Title: Director / Senior Director, Performance Management Location: Slalom (Virtual)

Overview Slalom is seeking a senior talent leader to reimagine how we define, measure, and enable performance across our global organization. As the Director / Senior Director of Performance Management, you will lead a bold, systemic reinvention of performance that is rooted in human-centered design, equity, and the evolving realities of modern work in Professional Services. This role sits within our Global Talent Management CoE and will shape the strategy, frameworks, and culture that enable all employees to grow, contribute, and thrive—while ensuring alignment to Slalom’s business priorities, inclusive culture, and long-term growth strategy. This is a highly visible, enterprise-impact role requiring strong influence across the Global People Team, business leadership, and cross-functional partners.

What You’ll Do

Performance Strategy & Design : Lead the evolution of Slalom’s global performance strategy — balancing accountability, clarity, and development to unlock both individual and business impact. Shape performance practices for a modern consulting population and dynamic internal functions, recognizing contributions across client-facing, team-based, and enterprise contexts. Translate strategy into enterprise-wide practices and rituals that scale while flexing to local and capability-specific needs.

Career Progression & Growth Pathways : Expand how we define career progression by designing multi-dimensional growth pathways (promotion, skill mastery, internal mobility, community leadership). Ensure advancement decisions are fair, transparent, and consistent, while empowering employees with clarity on how they grow at Slalom. Align performance and career frameworks with capability and workforce strategies to build organizational depth and resilience.

Performance Culture & Enablement : Champion a feedback-rich culture where ongoing dialogue is embedded into daily work, not confined to annual cycles. Equip leaders with tools and frameworks to differentiate performance and support employee growth with equity and compassion. Design programs to retain and accelerate top talent, while elevating the performance of teams across the organization.

Systems Thinking & Enterprise Integration : Own the global Performance experience as a holistic product — integrating philosophy, process, technology, and storytelling to deliver impact. Partner across Talent, Learning, Analytics, and Business Leadership to connect performance with adjacent systems (capability building, rewards, workforce planning). Use data, employee voice, and design feedback loops to drive ongoing innovation and continuous improvement.

Leadership & Influence : Act as a senior advisor and coach to executive leaders and people managers, enabling them to create environments where performance and growth thrive. Build enterprise alignment and cultural readiness for evolving how success is defined and measured. Serve as a visible culture carrier and trusted thought leader across Slalom, representing the performance philosophy internally and externally. Manage and develop a team, cultivating psychological safety, inclusion, and shared ownership of performance transformation.

What You’ll Bring

12–18+ years of progressive experience in Talent, Performance, Leadership Development, or Organizational Effectiveness within a multinational organization; experience in Professional Services strongly preferred.

A proven ability to design and scale performance and feedback frameworks that enable growth in dynamic, matrixed environments.

Expertise in behavior change, adult learning, and systems design, with demonstrated ability to embed these into organizational culture.

Strong enterprise leadership skills — able to influence senior executives, guide large-scale change, and build momentum around bold ideas.

Demonstrated success leading global initiatives that balance local nuance with enterprise consistency.

Comfort with ambiguity and complexity, paired with a bias for clarity, equity, and sustainable design.
