Join our mission to build meaningful connection in the workplace – enabling employees and organizations to thrive.
Do you genuinely want to help others add meaning to their work? That’s what Imperative is all about. Let’s work together to build a fulfilling workplace.
At Imperative, we empower every person to make their work fulfilling. We believe this is the only way to realize our potential as people, organizations, and society. We believe this can change the world.
Based on the science of purpose and social learning, our video-based peer coaching platform enables every employee to be an effective coach to one another, giving them the tools needed to increase self-awareness, make more intentional decisions, develop interpersonal skills, explore new ideas, own their career development and process change.
We're a VC-backed tech start-up, founded by the leading global expert in purpose and fulfillment at work, Aaron Hurst. We work with incredible companies like Zillow, Boston Scientific, Steelcase, and BuzzFeed--transforming their culture and making a meaningful impact in the lives of thousands of employees, every day.
If you think work isn't working, if you believe quality of life and work matter deeply, if you're motivated to change the game, come work with us.
We know that well-being means something different for each of us – which is why we prioritize great benefits and your employee experience.

“The thing I love most about working for Imperative is the creative, can-do energy that’s swirling around this group. There’s a feeling that you’re working together on something big that’s just moments away from taking off, and everyone is really on their A game, really firing on all cylinders. It’s very exciting to be a part of the team and a part of the action.”

Although we’re based in Seattle, our team is growing rapidly and our clientele spans the globe. We strive to build meaningful relationships that create a sense of belonging between our distributed team members.
We continuously invest in each other and our team culture through peer conversations on the Imperative platform. This helps us hack our product and build intentional relationships cross-departmentally.
Once a quarter, we host in-person collaboration and team bonding. Quarterly retreats are an optional way for team members to come together outside of the normal remote work day.
