A Performance Manager assesses and evaluates the work of staff at a business or organisation. You might look at individual performances or examine the performance of work teams or departments. Performance Managers provide guidance and make recommendations on ways to improve. You might also recognise and reward high achieving employees or teams.
Performance Managers should have strong leadership skills and excellent motivational abilities. It’s important you can communicate well with people from a range of backgrounds and understand individual circumstances. Performance Managers must be able to manage their time well and manage several tasks at one time.
In Australia, a full time Performance Manager generally earns $1,920 per week ($99,840 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience you can expect a potentially higher salary than people who are new to the industry.
The number of people employed in this field is expected to grow strongly in coming years. There are currently 13,500 people working in this industry in Australia and many of them specialise as a Performance Manager. Performance Managers may find work across all regions of Australia, particularly larger towns and cities.
