Transform how the world’s leading companies invest in their people. BetterUp partners with executives at top companies to shape human capital strategies that matter. You’ll co-create solutions that unlock performance, culture, and growth, and you’ll stay close to the ground as those plans become real. This is a front-line, high-trust, high-impact leadership seat focused on executive relationships, transformation, and long-term outcomes.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the strategic lead and executive counterpart for enterprise deployments, working side-by-side with CHROs and business leaders.
• Translate complex business and talent challenges into clear, compelling transformation plans — and own those solutions from design through deployment.
• Build trust and influence across senior stakeholders, acting as a thought partner, advisor, and driver of change.
• Lead a cross-functional deployment team (delivery, data, comms, change) — with you at the helm, aligning efforts to business impact.
• Facilitate strategic working sessions, steer executive updates, and own the story of value BetterUp delivers to the customer.
• Partner with the Account Team to ensure continuity and maximize expansion opportunities through advisory-led influence.
• Keep your eye on outcomes, not just deliverables — ensuring we deliver the transformation we promised.
• Bring pattern recognition, coaching mindset, and a high bar for strategic execution to every engagement.

Qualifications

• 15+ years of experience in consulting, HR transformation, organizational development, or a similar strategic role.
• A track record of executive-level advising, especially with CHROs or enterprise business leaders.
• Deep domain expertise in human capital, people strategy, or enterprise talent systems combined with business acumen.
• Experience leading complex, cross-functional deployments or change initiatives at scale.
• Exceptional communication skills and the ability to craft and deliver a narrative that moves hearts and minds.
• Comfort with ambiguity, a bias for action, and a drive to make things better, not just get them done.
• Experience operating inside high-growth SaaS, human transformation platforms, or people tech companies is a plus.
• A mindset rooted in outcomes, ownership, and long-term impact.
