BetterUp • Austin, TX

4d • Hybrid

About The Position

Transform how the world’s leading companies invest in their people. At BetterUp, we’re building a new kind of partnership with our customers — one that doesn’t stop at platform adoption. We’re in the business of deep, lasting transformation. That’s where you come in. As a Principal Client Partner, you’ll partner directly with executives at the world’s 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. You won't be a passenger in this process; you’ll be the driver of strategic clarity, executive alignment, and long-term outcomes. This is not a back-office, post-sale support role. This is a front-line, high-trust, high-impact leadership seat. If you thrive on building executive relationships, architecting transformation, and making ideas real through people, let’s talk.

Requirements

• 10+ 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.
• A mindset rooted in outcomes, ownership, and long-term impact.
• Our team thrives at the intersection of human expertise and AI capability. As an AI-forward company, adaptation and continuous learning are part of our daily work. We're looking for teammates who are excited to evolve alongside technology – people who experiment boldly, share their discoveries openly, and help define best practices for AI-augmented work. These professionals thoughtfully integrate AI into their work to deliver exceptional results while maintaining the human judgment and creativity that drives real innovation. During our interview process, you’ll have opportunities to showcase how you harness AI to learn, iterate, and amplify your impact.
