The role

Own HUMAIN's business-performance engine — connecting operating plans, performance, and insight so the organization identifies variance to plan early and acts on it decisively, increasingly AI-native.

Performance reviews — run the monthly and quarterly business review cycle end to end.

Reporting & dashboards — own executive reporting, dashboards, and insight, including a standardized weekly executive report to the CEO.

AI-native performance management — deploy AI agents to drive tracking, insight, and reporting.

Build & lead — operate as a player-coach, building and scaling a performance team over time.

What success looks like:

First 90 days: scorecard-aligned operating plans across every unit and a standardized review cadence running across the business.

By 6–12 months: variance consistently identified and acted on, leadership equipped with trusted visibility, AI-native reporting delivering measurable gains.
