Director, Talent Management
Please note, this is a senior individual contributor role with enterprise-wide scope and no direct reports. Success will come through deep subject matter expertise, influence, and cross-functional leadership.
Your Mission:
Sony Interactive Entertainment is redefining the future of gaming, and we believe that future is powered by people. As
Senior Manager, Talent & Performance
, you will lead the continued evolution of Game Changers, SIE’s global performance management framework.
You’ll connect performance with our broader talent ecosystem, including succession planning, calibration, promotions, and career development, ensuring our people processes are tightly aligned to strategic business outcomes, leadership behaviors, and a culture of development.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys operating at both levels: setting direction and rolling up their sleeves to make it happen!
What You’ll Be Doing:
Lead and continuously evolve Game Changers, SIE’s enterprise-wide performance program supporting 10,000+ employees globally, with a focus on clarity, fairness, differentiation, and business impact.

Who We’re Looking For:
Demonstrated depth in Talent Management and Performance, with experience owning complex, enterprise-wide programs in a large, global, matrixed organization. You’ve operated with the autonomy, judgment, and influence required to shape direction, not simply execute an established approach.
Proven experience owning, designing, evolving, and executing enterprise-wide performance management programs, with meaningful experience across calibration, talent reviews, succession planning, promotions, and career development.
Experience navigating global complexity, including partnering across regions, functions, and senior stakeholder groups to drive enterprise-wide talent outcomes.

Demonstrated ability to influence and challenge senior leaders, navigate competing priorities, and create alignment across complex stakeholder groups spanning levels, functions, and geographies.
Strong organizational and contextual judgment - you understand that the right solution depends on the business, culture, organizational maturity, and readiness for change rather than simply applying external best practices.
Experience leading through influence and successfully driving outcomes in environments where decision-making and accountability are distributed across multiple stakeholders.
Strong change leadership capabilities, with demonstrated success building stakeholder commitment and driving adoption of new or evolving Talent & Performance practices.
Data-literate and deeply curious - you use analytics, stakeholder feedback, employee insights, and external trends to form recommendations, test assumptions, and continuously improve outcomes.
Experience leveraging HR technology to enable enterprise Talent & Performance processes; experience with BetterWorks or comparable performance/talent platforms is valuable but not required.
Comfortable exploring how emerging technologies, including AI, can improve manager effectiveness, employee experience, decision quality, and the scalability of Talent & Performance programs.
Executive presence and communication skills that allow you to translate complex talent concepts into clear, compelling recommendations for senior leaders.
A deep commitment to equity, transparency, employee growth, and creating talent practices that strengthen both individual and business performance.

Use LLMs and other AI-assisted techniques to generate, expand, and maintain high-value test cases for ML-powered workflows.
Design scenario-based test suites for AI features, including adversarial prompts, edge cases, ambiguous inputs, and underrepresented user scenarios.
Lead QE efforts for multi-functional projects, driving risk assessment, dependency management, and release readiness.
Design, develop, and maintain scalable automation frameworks for backend services, APIs, and ML inference systems using Python and/or Java.
Build automated validation for ML and LLM outputs, including ranking behavior, score distributions, prompt/response quality, hallucination indicators, and probabilistic model evaluation.
Debug test failures, service anomalies, model inconsistencies, and AI behavior regressions to identify root causes and drive resolution.
Perform functional, integration, regression, API, end-to-end, performance, and reliability testing for distributed systems.
Improve automation reliability, reduce flakiness, and optimize execution efficiency.
Partner with engineering and ML teams to integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and release workflows.
Collaborate across teams to establish scalable quality standards, tooling, and guidelines.
Required qualifications

5+ years of experience as an SDET or QE engineer focused on backend and distributed systems.
Experience using LLMs to generate, transform, and prioritize test cases for AI-powered experiences.
Experience with AI evaluation tooling, prompt evaluation frameworks, model monitoring, or human-in-the-loop review workflows.
Strong experience testing RESTful APIs, microservices, and distributed architectures.
Proficiency in Python, Java, JS or similar languages for automation development.
Hands-on experience with automation frameworks such as pytest, JUnit, Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or Appium.
Experience with CI/CD systems and test pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc.).
Experience with cloud and container technologies (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker).
Familiarity with databases, monitoring, and observability tools.
Strong understanding of SDLC, Agile methodologies, and release processes.
Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills.
Preferred qualifications

Experience testing high-scale, low-latency online services.
Experience with Databricks or similar ML platform tooling.
Familiarity with Node.js, React, or modern frontend technologies.
Experience testing mobile, console, or other non-PC platforms.
What sets you apart
Strong combination of automation engineering and delivery ownership.

Practical understanding of how to test non-deterministic AI systems and separate model variance from quality regressions.
Proven risk management and dependency coordination skills.
Ability to influence engineering teams and promote quality guidelines.
Passion for scalable, reliable, and maintainable automation systems.
