Drive the full performance management cycle by guiding teams through development planning, tracking progress against objectives, managing performance issues, and conducting appraisals
Provide timely, constructive, and empathetic feedback to support individual growth and performance
Navigate sensitive or challenging conversations with professionalism, emotional intelligence, and an open mind
Support engineers through conflict, blockers, and personal or professional challenges with empathy and discretion
Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders to maintain strong communication channels and ensure alignment on organisational goals
Help shape and champion a culture of openness, accountability, and respect
About You
A natural relationship-builder who thrives in a people-centric role
Excellent multitasker - able to run meetings while capturing insights and driving outcomes
Strong communicator with the confidence to have tough conversations when needed
Highly organised and able to manage multiple work-streams in a fully remote environment
Experienced with performance management, coaching, and delivering actionable feedback
Comfortable working with a globally dispersed team across diverse cultures, communication styles, and time zones
