Principal, Procurement

Join to apply for the Principal, Procurement role at BetterUp Inc.

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.

It’s an opportunity to shape how BetterUp manages vendor partnerships, technology investments, and spend accountability at scale.
