Principal Change Activation Partner, Center for Daring Leadership

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 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.

As a Change Partner within CDL, you'll drive the change management strategies that turn program launches into lasting organizational shifts. You'll work directly with senior client leaders — helping them build belief, sustain momentum, and cascade transformation across their organizations. You bring the strategic range to architect a change plan and the communications craft to make every message land. The work is complex, the clients are sophisticated, and the mission behind it is genuine.

Design Communications That Drive Transformation - Develop communications strategies that don't just deliver messages — they shape the story that makes change possible. - Produce and direct high-quality deliverables across multiple channels (email, live events, digital platforms, executive forums) with the craft standards and consistency that earns credibility with enterprise clients. - Equip managers and frontline leaders with toolkits, talking points, and coaching to act as multipliers of the Dare to Lead transformation. - Develop platform communications that shift participant interactions from transactional to transformational — adapting Dare to Lead principles into messages that resonate with senior leaders and their teams. Build and Sustain Client Partnerships - Act as a thought partner, advisor, and trusted presence for CHRO-, CPO-, and L&D-level stakeholders throughout multi-month program journeys. - Design account-specific launch narratives and engagement rhythms that establish belief early and sustain momentum through completion. - Develop executive-voiced communications — including ghostwritten messages, talking points, and mid-program moments — that help senior sponsors show up
