About The Position

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. 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; 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. At BetterUp, we’re building the future of personal and professional growth. As a Manager on our FP&A team, you’ll play a critical role in driving financial visibility and strategic decision-making across the business. You will partner closely with business leaders to inform forecasting, planning, and resource allocation - bringing structure, clarity, and insight to a fast-moving, mission-driven organization. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives on transforming data into stories, frameworks, and strategic recommendations that help BetterUp grow smartly and sustainably. If you are excited by the opportunity to influence decisions through data and to drive scalable financial processes at a purpose-driven company, we’d love to hear from you.
