JobDescription:
Lets face it, a company whose mission is human transformation better have some fresh thinking about the employer/employee relationship.
We do. We cant cram it all in here, but youll 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 youve ever met (yes, each with their own personal BetterUp Coach), and most importantly, work that matters.
This makes for a remarkably focused and fulfilling work experience. Frankly, its not for everyone. But for people with fire in their belly, its a game-changing, career-defining, soul-lifting move.
Join us and we promise you the most intense and fulfilling years of your career, doing life-changing work in a fun, inventive, soulful culture.
If that sounds excitingand the job description below feels like a fitwe really should start talking.
Over the past 10 years BetterUp has built transformative experiences for employees. As our Partner Platform Director you will be a key executive responsible for building the foundational platform which enables our buyers (enterprise partners) to scale this transformation across their entire organization.
The ideal candidate:
- Deep Customer Empathy. As we develop this platform, we will be expanding our buyers capabilities beyond what they even imagine today.
- You will closely partner with our buyers and internal practitioners to understand customer challenges and develop the systems, integrations, workflows, analytics and reporting that our customers need. You will be an advocate for our customer inside of BetterUp and a core driver of this transformation.
- Systems Thinking. This is a highly complex technical, operational and product ecosystem. (multi-sided marketplace, buyer is not user, data complexity, etc) You excel at digesting this broad set of inputs into consumable stories and perspectives to guide the org. Data Driven. Our partner platform is powered by data – data to help partners target opportunity, to optimize transformation and to measure growth. Data is how you approach problems and you excel at helping others leverage data. Technical Expertise. The problems to be solved can be highly technical – in terms of data, process and product. You love digging in with engineers to understand the details and leverage this to drive strategy and alignment. . Horizontal Leadership. As our partner platform evolves, so too must our organization. You are someone who excels at guiding and influencing a broad set of leaders to help align our efforts on new paradigms.

- You will deliver all of this through Platform teams based in both the US and Europe.
As an organization we have the building blocks in place but are still early in our Platform journey – this is your opportunity to shape and accelerate that journey.
What youll do:
- Own development of our Partner Platform consisting of the user experience, integrations, automation, recommendations/AI, analytics, and infrastructure. Your teams will solve problems from seamless access management to create systems to measure and optimize an organization’s transformation.
- You will shape strategy and vision, with a strong contribution on the platform and technical perspectives.
- You will manage, grow and recruit world class talent and set the pace of the organization – both within and beyond your direct team.
- You will lean into horizontal leadership to help guide our organization through this transformation.
- You will define, monitor, measure, analyze and report on key metrics for your business.
