Careers / Performance Partner
Make action unavoidable.
This is not a normal facilitation role. It is for a coach who wants to help managers and leaders genuinely perform inside their organisation. You embed, you get under the bonnet of what's holding them back, and you put it right.
- Type
- Full-time
- Where
- Hybrid, Hatton 3 days/week
- Pay
- £40K base + client bonus
You sit alongside managers, work out what is actually going wrong, and help them put it right. To them, you are the person they bring in when something matters and needs sorting. The one whose impact they can point to and measure.
You're not there to teach. You're there to make action unavoidable.
This role is not for you if success looks like
- Positive feedback scores
- Engagement levels or completion rates
- Being the expert in the room
- Delivering off-the-shelf training
- A 'deliver and disappear' role
We measure success in one thing
Did the organisation's problems get solved?
What this role actually is
You don't just deliver workshops. You engineer the conditions where change becomes unavoidable.
You unlock the expertise already inside the organisation. You make the community the engine that solves the problem.
What you'll actually do
Six things you own, end to end.
Shape the programme scope
Work alongside client stakeholders and our internal team to interpret Manager Strength Index findings into actionable problem areas. Co-design the scope that defines what needs solving, how, and how we will prove it worked. Translate organisational challenges into Prime and Elevate structures.
You're not following a script. You're building the roadmap.
Design workshop content in the client's language
Build Prime workshops that force clarity on messy organisational problems. Create Elevate sessions that surface execution wins, troubleshoot blockers and keep momentum alive. Translate 10X principles into the client's language, context and reality.
Your workshops must feel built for them, not for 'leaders in general'.
Deliver workshops that create action, not insight
Run Prime and Elevate workshops, virtual or in person, that align managers around the problem to be solved. Surface the collective intelligence already in the room. Get managers to commit to action with clarity and ownership.
Your job isn't to be the smartest person in the room. It's to unlock the smartest room.
Embed and enforce behaviour change
Workshops are the beginning, not the end. Ensure Execution Plans are completed and actioned via LeadersLab. Make sure managers get support at the point they need it, and hold accountability and cadence between workshops.
You engineer follow-through. You design the system so action isn't optional.
Work with stakeholders to iterate and improve
Gather and respond to client feedback after every touchpoint. Spot what's working and what's not, fast. Adjust content, execution systems and support in real time. Build evidence of impact for board-ready reporting.
You're building a performance programme, not ticking off session deliveries.
Prove the ROI
10X guarantees managers solve problems, or we keep supporting them until they do. You're accountable for measuring whether the problem moved, tracking behaviour change and execution success, and feeding data back into our impact reporting.
We don't measure learning. We measure movement.
What makes you effective
Five instincts the best Performance Partners share.
Client-embedded, not client-facing
You don't parachute in and out. You become part of the client's performance engine. Managers know your name. Stakeholders trust you to deliver. You understand their context, language and constraints deeply enough to design for them.
Engineer execution, not just engagement
Anyone can run a good workshop. You design the system around it that makes action unavoidable: clear commitments with visible ownership, accountability cadence, support at the point of need, peer pressure and community momentum.
Obsessed with the problem, not the process
You don't care if they 'loved the session'. You care if they solved the problem. If a format isn't working, you change it. If a system isn't landing, you rebuild it. If the content isn't relevant, you rewrite it.
Facilitate, you don't perform
You're not the sage on the stage. You unlock the intelligence already in the room. You surface insights, provoke thinking, and create the conditions where the community becomes the engine.
Build in public with stakeholders
You co-create, not hand over. You involve stakeholders in shaping the workshops and respond to their feedback fast. They feel like co-authors, not customers.
Hard requirements
Non-negotiables.
- Facilitation mastery. You hold space for difficult conversations, provoke insight and create psychological safety.
- Workshop design. You structure sessions that force clarity, create ownership and engineer commitment.
- Client partnership. You collaborate with stakeholders, translate their needs and build trust fast.
- Execution mindset. You know the workshop is 20% of the work and follow-through is the other 80%.
- Comfort with ambiguity. No two clients are the same, so you design for context, not template.
What sets you apart
The edge.
- You challenge the client. Not a yes-person: if something won't work, you say so and propose a better way.
- You iterate fast. You gather feedback, spot patterns and adjust in real time.
- You care about the organisation, not just the managers. You solve business problems.
- You're evidence-driven. You measure impact, not activity, and build proof, not anecdotes.
- You thrive embedded, inside a client organisation rather than observing from outside.

Why this role exists
10X exists to end the theatre of management training.
Most training providers deliver workshops and hope something sticks. We don't. We embed Performance Partners who engineer execution around real business problems.
You're not here to teach leadership skills. You're here to catalyse performance by making action unavoidable. The development happens as a by-product.
Our promise to you
What you get in return.
Work with organisations solving real problems with real stakes.
Design workshops in their language, for their context.
Be supported by a team obsessed with execution, not activity.
Measure your success by problems solved, not sessions delivered.
Be rewarded directly for the client impact you create.
Have a clear pathway to Lead Performance Partner, earning £80K+ and shaping how 10X scales.
The question
Can you embed inside a client organisation and become the catalyst for solving their hardest problems?
Not by teaching. Not by inspiring. But by engineering the conditions where action becomes unavoidable.
