Join to apply for the Staff Product Designer role at Better Up

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 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.
