Performance management at Bolt is not an HR process. It is the mechanism that decides where the company invests in people: who gets stretch assignments, who gets promoted, whose work gets recognized and rewarded. Done badly, it produces rubber-stamped ratings that tell nobody anything. Done well, it becomes a decision-making tool the whole business trusts, and the reason strong performers know their work is seen. This role owns that mechanism end to end. Reporting to the VP of People & Workplace, you will build the analytical infrastructure that lets Bolt make faster, better-informed decisions about talent, and you will be the person senior leaders come to when they need a defensible answer on where performance is strongest and what it means commercially.
