Strategy & Business Operations Associate - Office of the CEO in London

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 seeking a passionate, driven individual to join our Business Operations team within the Office of the CEO. The ideal candidate is strongly interested in technology, innovation, and the Employee Experience ecosystem. You have a proven ability to lead projects from ideation to execution with measurable impact. You excel at managing multiple competing priorities, knowing when to focus on details and when to take a step back to see the bigger picture. Impact drives you, and you're always thinking about how to move things forward.

You will lead BetterUp's top strategic projects, including annual planning, acquisition integrations, due diligence, and more. These high-impact, cross-functional initiatives will require a deep understanding of BetterUp's value chain. Handling sensitive projects, you'll work closely with the CEO, Chief of Staff, and Executive Leadership Team to deliver strategic insights and measurable results.
