Principal Product Designer, Partner

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 Better Up Coach, a development plan, a trained and coached manager, the most amazing team you’ve ever met (yes, each with their own personal Better Up 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 your 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.

Better Up is looking for a Principal Product Designer (P6) to own the design vision for Partner Experience — the B2B layer through which enterprise HR leaders, program administrators, and organizational decision‑makers interact with Better Up. This surface spans Partner Hub, Performance Intelligence, and the reporting and configuration layer that connects Better Up's coaching impact to business outcomes.

Partner Experience is where enterprise deals are won or lost, where HR executives decide whether Better Up is indispensable, and where member and coaching data gets translated into decisions that affect entire organizations. The designer who owns this domain sets the vision for how some of the most data‑rich, constraint‑heavy surfaces in our portfolio should work.

Reporting to the VP of Design, you'll operate as a peer to senior product and engineering leadership — a principal‑level IC who brings strategic clarity to hard problems and executes with precision.

• Own the end‑to‑end design vision for Partner Hub, Performance Intelligence, and analytics and reporting surfaces
• Shape how HR executives and administrators make sense of complex organizational data, translating behavioral and performance signals into experiences that drive insight, trust, and action
• Lead 0→1 design work on ambiguous, high‑stakes problems, bringing a strong point of view to challenges that don't yet have obvious solutions
• Work directly with Product, Engineering, Research, and People Science from the earliest stages, influencing problem framing and roadmap priorities
• Design scalable UX patterns that hold up across partners with vastly different organizational structures, program configurations, and reporting needs
• Build and maintain foundational design patterns for enterprise B2B surfaces that enable speed and consistency as the product grows
• Actively contribute to Better Up's design culture, participating in cross‑pod critiques and serving as the connective voice between the member experience and the partner data story it generates

Visual design taste and craft are the foundation of this role. This is not a soft skill—it is the core of what it means to be a…
