About Performio:
Performio is the last ICM software you’ll ever need. It allows you to manage incentive compensation complexity and change over the long run by combining a structured plan builder and flexible data management, with a partner who will make you a customer for life.
Our people are highly-motivated and engaged professionals with a clear set of values and behaviors. We prove these values matter to us by living them each day. This makes Performio both a great place to work and a great company to do business with.
But a great team alone is not sufficient to win. We have solved the fundamental issue widespread in our industry—overly-rigid applications that cannot adapt to your needs, or overly-flexible ones that become impossible to maintain over time. Only Performio allows you to manage incentive compensation complexity and change over the long run by combining a structured plan builder and flexible data management. The component-based plan builder makes it easier to understand, change, and self-manage than traditional formula or rules-based solutions. Our ability to Import data from any source, in any format, and perform in-app data transformations, eliminate the pain of external processing and provides end-to-end data visibility. The combination of these two functions, allows us to deliver more powerful reporting and insights. And while every vendor says they are a partner, we truly are one. We not only get your implementation right the first time, we enable you and give you the autonomy and control to make changes year after year. And unlike most, we support every part of your unique configuration. Performio is a partner that will make you a customer for life.
We have a global customer base across Australia, Asia, Europe, and the US in 25+ industries that includes many well-known companies like Toll Brothers, Abbott Labs, News Corp, Johnson & Johnson, Nikon, and Uber Freight.
The Opportunity:
Each year sales reps around the world collectively earn over $300 billion in commissions for their efforts. Despite this scale, calculating, communicating, and reporting on commissions is a painful challenge for the majority of companies. Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) software seeks to solve this problem, but the legacy ICM vendors have failed to deliver on their promises and businesses and sales teams remain frustrated with their sales comp programs.
We are looking for an innovative and tenacious product leader to execute on the product vision and make Performio the ICM market leader. Someone who gets excited about building a team and innovating in an established category and positioning a company to win.

- Manage product innovation: Drive continuous prototyping and innovation cycles to validate value, usability, feasibility and viability for all product initiatives, drive bias toward pragmatic solutions, lead by example and roll up the sleeves to own key areas of the product.

Don’t check every box in our job description? That’s ok! As the Harvard Business Review points out, research conducted by Hewlett Packard shows that men typically apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, while women and those from marginalized groups tend to only apply when they feel they meet 100%. If you think you have what it takes, but don’t necessarily meet all of the requirements listed in the job description, please still reach out. We’d love to have a conversation to see if you could be a great fit!
