Director / Senior Director, Performance Management

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 Center of Expertise (CoE) and will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of performance at Slalom. You will be responsible for building 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 designed 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 consistently 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 the tools and frameworks to differentiate performance and support employee growth with equity and compassion. Design programs to retain and accelerate top talent, while also 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.
