About The Position
JobHire.ai is seeking a Performance Management Architect with expertise in AI and modern frameworks for a 6-10 week project. The goal is to transform the current manual performance management system into a continuous, monthly, auto-graded system.

It will include individual dashboards, clear tracks for improvement (especially for B and C players), and minimal manual input, leveraging AI as an operating layer. The project aims to enhance the user experience and perceived value of JobHire.ai's platform, aligning with their People & AI strategy.

- Develop dashboards for individuals (grade, track, development areas), managers (team overview, growth, departures), and C-level executives (TDI, A-player density, risks).
