Nuuk - Performance & Talent Manager

Why this role matters at Nuuk:

At Nuuk, we're not just building smart home appliances-we're building a high-ownership, high-performance culture. As our Performance & Talent Manager, you'll be the architect behind how people grow, perform, and thrive.

This role sits at the heart of our people strategy, shaping performance cycles, nurturing talent, and ensuring every Nuukster knows what great looks like and how to get there.

What you'll own (and love doing):

Performance Excellence:

- Design and run end-to-end Performance Management cycles (OKRs/KPIs, goal setting, reviews, feedback).

- Make performance conversations clear, continuous, and meaningful-not just annual rituals.

- Coach managers on setting sharp goals, giving feedback, and managing performance with confidence.

- Track outcomes, spot trends, and turn insights into action.

Talent & Growth:

- Build a strong Talent Review & Succession framework for future leaders.

- Identify high-potential talent and craft development journeys that actually stick.

- Partner with business leaders on internal mobility, role transitions, and career paths.

- Anchor a strong growth mindset culture across teams.

Manager Enablement:

- Upskill managers on performance, coaching, and talent decisions.

- Create simple toolkits, playbooks, and nudges that make managing people easier (and better).

- Own performance and talent dashboards-simple, insightful, decision-ready.

- Use data to tell stories, influence leaders, and improve outcomes.

What we're looking for:

- 5-10 years of experience in Performance Management, Talent Management, or HRBP roles.

- Strong experience working with fast-growing or startup environments.

- Deep comfort working with managers, leadership teams, and ambiguity.

- A sharp blend of structure + empathy-you care about results and people.

- Hands-on, high-ownership mindset-you build, run, fix, and improve.

What makes this role exciting at Nuuk:

- You'll help shape performance and talent systems from the ground up.

- Direct impact on culture, leadership quality, and business outcomes.

- A chance to grow with a company scaling fast, from 100 to 300+ and beyond.

- Smart, humble, driven colleagues who believe great culture is built every day.
