Responsibilities
- Rebuild performance management: Lead the overhaul of how performance is run-goal setting, review cycles, and calibration-from design through rollout.
- Reset the cadence: Move the performance model to a rhythm that drives the organization forward without consuming it, evolving away from a heavy quarterly cycle.
- Own job architecture: Shape how roles, levels, and career paths are organized across the company.
- Define and cascade goals: Build the framework for setting goals and cascading them from the company level down through every team.
- Measure performance across functions: Design meaningful KPIs and performance measures for teams where success isn't purely metrics-driven-from HR to legal to operations.
- Work hands-on: Design and implement programs yourself, drawing on support from the broader People team rather than a large team of your own.
Requirements
- 6+ years of experience running performance and talent management programs end to end-goal setting, performance cycles, calibration, and rollout.
- A strong command of job architecture, KPI design, and cascading goals across an organization.
- A data-savvy, analytical approach to measuring performance and diagnosing what's working.
- A hands-on operator who is as comfortable designing the system as doing the work to implement it.
- A focus on the analytical side of talent management-goal-setting, measurement, and performance systems.
- Experience in a scale-up, high-growth, or technology environment is a plus.
We Offer
- Competitive base salary range of $160,000 - $190,000 per year.
- Equity awards and an annual performance-based bonus.
- Comprehensive benefits package including:
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance (multiple plans, incl. HSA options).
- Company-paid life and disability insurance (short- and long-term).
- Voluntary insurance: accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity.
- Optional supplemental life insurance for self, spouse, and children.
- Pet insurance discount.
- 401(k).
- Health Savings Account (HSA).
- Flexible Spending Accounts (Healthcare, Dependent Care, Commuter).
- Generous Time Off policies.
About the Company
At Atoms, you'll work on one of the defining challenges of our time-bringing automation into the physical world to drive real, lasting impact. We exist to uncover valuable unknown truths and turn them into progress, which means constantly pushing beyond what's known and building what doesn't yet exist. The work is ambitious and often challenging, but it's grounded in a shared sense of purpose and a team committed to seeing it through together. Our work only matters if it serves others, and we know that meaningful progress depends on the trust of the people we serve and the strength of our team-so we invest in both, creating an environment where you can do your best work and grow.
What else you need to know
This role is based in our Los Angeles or San Francisco office. Atoms is a company driven by invention and continuous change-we are constantly reimagining our industries, building new products, and refining how we operate. We do our best work together. That's why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.
