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.
This makes for a remarkably focused and fulfilling work experience. Frankly, it’s not for everyone. But for people with fire in their belly, it’s 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 exciting—and the job description below feels like a fit—we really should start talking. 

What you’ll do:

• Owning Strategic Programs - You'll partner closely with Engineering and Product and other key leaders to establish the vision, strategy, technical direction and success metrics for those programs.

• Planning & Execution Optimization - You'll drive optimizations related to planning Product and Engineering objectives and key results, define project plans and processes for team execution/tracking.
• Technical - You'll develop a full understanding of our technical stack and interdependencies, allowing you to contribute to designs and ensure they are scalable, reliable, and efficient. 
• Stakeholder Management - You'll manage expectations for all stakeholders from leadership to individual teams, possess strong problem solving and negotiation skills, and earn trust of partners and teams. 
• Communications - You’ll manage timely and succinct communications on key decisions, dependencies, issues, risks, and metrics to leadership and across teams to ensure accountability and timeline management throughout a program's lifecycle.
• Process - You'll continuously drive excellence in Technical Program Management fundamentals for yourself and the TPM team, in order to continually build our shared best-practices and overall effectiveness. You are thoughtful about how and when to implement processes with a light touch.
