Engineering VP Performance Review Template

Engineering Strategy & Vision

Setting and communicating a multi-year engineering direction tied to company strategy.

Exceeds Engineering strategy is a competitive differentiator. Proactively positions technical capability ahead of business needs.
Meets Engineering roadmap is aligned with product and business strategy. Vision is communicated and understood across the org.
Below Engineering reacts to business requests. No coherent multi-year direction. Teams lack strategic context.
Example phrases:
  • "Built the engineering vision that enabled the Series B pitch — directly cited by investors as a differentiator."

Talent Density & Org Design

Building and structuring an engineering organization that can scale. Hiring philosophy and bar.

Exceeds Talent density is visibly rising. Structural decisions (team topology, hiring) are ahead of the org's needs.
Meets Org is well-structured. Hiring bar is maintained. Spans of control are appropriate.
Below Org design creates friction. Hiring quality is inconsistent. Structural tech debt is accumulating.
Example phrases:
  • "Restructured eng into 3 product squads that reduced cross-team dependencies — shipping velocity up 30%."

Executive Presence & Influence

Representing engineering at the exec table. Board-level communication. Company-wide credibility.

Exceeds Engineering is seen as a strategic asset, not a cost center. Board and CEO treat VP as a strategic partner.
Meets Credible at exec level. Advocates effectively for engineering priorities. Communicates progress and risk clearly.
Below Engineering is minimized in exec discussions. Limited credibility outside the technical domain.
Example phrases:
  • "Presented engineering roadmap to board with clarity that accelerated funding decision by one quarter."
