Director, Talent & Performance at Ent Security | LAYIQ

Must-haves
Talent and performance is your expertise, not one of several things you've touched. You've designed and personally run a full performance cycle at a company between 100 and 500 people. Build phase, not administering a system someone else designed.
You've built job architecture or competency ladders from scratch across multiple job families, and gotten managers to actually use them.
Ideally you've also seen this work at real scale, at 500 people or more. You know what the thing you're building at 100 has to become, so you build toward it instead of into a corner.
You can show us agentic AI you've put to work inside a people practice, with performance at the center of it.
Not AI-assisted drafting. We want the workflow. What it ran on, what it produced, where you kept a human in the loop, and what measurably changed.
You're fluent in performance metrics. You know what's worth measuring about a cycle, a manager, and an org, and you report it in a way that gets an executive to act.
You've coached directors and managers directly, not just trained them, and facilitated calibration with senior leaders.
You've carried performance cases through to termination, across more than one state, with a legal partner rather than instead of one.
You build the 80% version that ships, not the enterprise version that doesn't.
Bonus
You've stood up a talent management system rather than inherited one.
Multi-country experience, including employer-of-record arrangements.
You've worked inside a company that doubled headcount in under 18 months.
You've partnered with a quota-carrying sales org on ramp and performance management.
Not required
You don't need to be an expert across every people discipline. Comp architecture, benefits, HR compliance, and HR systems are covered here, and the VP of People is hands-on alongside you. We'd rather have someone unusually strong on partnership, ladders, performance, and building with agents than someone broadly competent at everything.

We recognize there is no single path to success and value nontraditional career journeys and diverse perspectives as key to building stronger, more innovative teams.
We strive to ensure an inclusive experience at every stage of hiring and are happy to provide reasonable accommodations. If you require accommodations or accessible formats at any point during our process, please let your recruiter know.
