Lead the Future of Dentistry.

Overjet is the world-leader in dental AI. Already, thousands of dental providers and insurers rely on our platform to deliver the best possible care. Now, we’re looking for talented people to fulfill our mission: improve oral health for all.

Overjet is where builders become leaders. Everyone here loves to make new things: new products, new partnerships, new content, and a new category of AI technology. And as Overjet grows ridiculously fast, so will you.

Simply put, there’s no better place to accelerate your career. Come join us!

The Role

Overjet exists to improve patient care by bringing objective, AI-powered truth into dentistry. That same standard of rigor should apply to how we operate performance management internally.

As Director of Performance, you will ensure Overjet’s people and teams are aligned to our values, accountable for results, and executing at a level worthy of building AI that clinicians trust with patient outcomes to improve oral health for all. This role translates our mission into measurable performance standards for each Overjet employee as we scale.

Responsibilities

  • Build and operate Overjet’s performance management system, from goal-setting and reviews to feedback and consequences, with clarity and rigor.

  • Partner with the CEO, Head of People & Talent, and senior leaders to define what “great” looks like at every level for each role - and make it observable and measurable.

  • Drive company-wide performance cycles (goals, reviews, calibration) that are lightweight, trusted, and biased toward action.

  • Use data to surface performance trends, talent risks, and organizational bottlenecks - and push leaders to confront them.

  • Continuously refine performance systems to support scale, speed, and excellence without bureaucracy.

Qualifications

  • Ability to run an iterative, world-class performance management system in high-growth, high-standard organization.

  • Strong judgment and backbone. This role will be a bar-raiser for Overjet employees demonstrating and instilling our values. Doing that will require you to be comfortable often telling hard truths and defending what’s right over what’s easy. It will require you to make recommendations having to do with both promoting employees and exiting them from the organization - heavy decisions that carry real weight.

  • Analytical mindset with the ability to translate qualitative performance into clear signals and decisions.

  • Deep understanding of how People systems, incentives, and culture shape real-world outcomes.

  • Operator’s mentality: you care deeply about whether the system you are implementing actually works at making Overjet one of the highest performing organizations in the world and will iterate on it until it does.
