Who we are
Salient is a performance optimization partner built on a simple belief: organizations perform better when responsibility is distributed, performance is transparent and people are trusted to act.
For more than 30 years, we’ve helped organizations across industries make better business decisions by pairing human expertise with the right tools and frameworks. That same mindset shapes how we work internally. Salient values clear thinking over hierarchy, progress over posturing and outcomes over optics.
Salient hires people who want to understand the “why,” take ownership of their work and contribute to something that lasts.
Salient operates as a distributed organization by design. Most of our team works remotely, supported by clear expectations, shared accountability and alignment around outcomes.
We believe flexibility works best when expectations are clear. Team members manage their time responsibly, communicate openly and focus on outcomes. When life requires flexibility, we support it. When work requires focus, we protect it.
The Salient leadership team is accessible and engaged. Ideas aren’t gated by title and some of our most impactful thinking comes from collaboration across teams. We value perspective, curiosity and the willingness to challenge assumptions in pursuit of better outcomes.
