Strategic Advisor (VP Level)

New Today

Overview

Let’s face it, a company whose mission is human transformation better have some fresh thinking about the employer/employee relationship. We do. You’ll start noticing it from the first interview. Our candidate experience is different, and when you get an offer from us you get more than a paycheck: a personal BetterUp Coach, a development plan, a coached manager, an amazing team (each with their own coach), and work that matters. This makes for a focused and fulfilling work experience. It’s not for everyone, but for people with fire in their belly, it’s a game-changing move.

Join us and you’ll experience a highly intense and fulfilling period of your career doing life-changing work in a fun, inventive, soulful culture. If that sounds exciting—and the job description below feels like a fit—we should start talking.

We are a hybrid company with a focus on in-person collaboration when necessary. Employees are expected to be available to work from one of our office hubs at least two days per week, or eight days per month. Our US hub locations include: Austin, TX; Chicago, IL; New York City, NY; San Francisco, CA; and the Washington, DC metro area. If this is a role based in Europe, our Europe hub locations are London, UK and Amsterdam, NL. Please ensure you can realistically commit to this structure before applying.

Transform how the world’s leading companies invest in their people.

  • A mindset rooted in outcomes, ownership, and long-term impact.
