Let’s face it, a company whose mission is human transformation better have some fresh thinking about the employer/employee relationship.

We do. We can’t cram it all in here, but you’ll start noticing it from the first interview.

Even our candidate experience is different. And when you get an offer from us (and accept it), you get way more than a paycheck. You get a personal BetterUp Coach, a development plan, a trained and coached manager, the most amazing team you’ve ever met (yes, each with their own personal BetterUp Coach), and most importantly, work that matters.

What You’ll Do

• Partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Design leaders to align team structures, capabilities, and workflows to business goals and product priorities.
• Translate the needs of a dynamic technical organization into forward-looking talent strategies that support innovation, velocity, and long-term scalability.
• Anticipate organizational challenges and proactively design strategic org interventions—from role clarity and team design to leadership coaching and change planning.
• Use data to diagnose organizational health and influence decisions around team effectiveness, retention, engagement, and performance.
• Guide leaders through complex transitions, including scaling, restructuring, and cross-functional change—ensuring strong change narratives and employee clarity.
• Embed with your client group to provide on-the-ground leadership coaching, ensuring managers are supported, upskilled, and aligned on expectations.
• Collaborate across People teams (e.g., Talent, L&D, Total Rewards) to deliver integrated solutions that improve the employee experience and business outcomes.
• Champion the responsible adoption of AI and intelligent tooling in talent practices, enabling efficiency, insight, and future-readiness for our R&D teams.

• Comfortable in ambiguous, fast-paced environments where needs evolve quickly
• Demonstrated influence without authority across cross-functional partners
