About the Role

Rippling is seeking a highly organized, operationally rigorous Associate Program Manager, HR to drive critical HR programs and cross-functional initiatives that improve the support of Rippling’s continued scale and HR execution. This role will report to the VP of HR and serve as a core operator across several high-impact work streams, including benefits, HR PMO projects, AI-enabled HR initiatives, OKRs/QBRs, M&A readiness and integration work, and Rippling Rituals. The ideal candidate is a strong program manager and operator who can work with senior leaders, create structure in ambiguity, drive cross functional stakeholders to decisions, translate complex work into clear plans, and ensure execution does not stall. You are comfortable operating across strategic HR priorities and tactical details. You can support executive-level work streams while also rolling up your sleeves to improve processes, manage dashboards & tooling, track issues & analytics, prepare communication materials, and ensure timely project completion. This is a high-impact role for someone who brings judgment, discretion, analytical orientation, and an incredible bias for getting sh!t done!

Responsibilities

Lead and operationalize HR programs and projects from intake through execution, ensuring clear scope, owners, milestones, dependencies, risks, decisions, and success measures.
Support benefits-related programs and operational improvements, including employee education, partnering with product to ensure issue resolution, stakeholder coordination, communications, process documentation, and cross-functional execution.
Serve as a PMO partner to the VP of HR across priority initiatives, including AI in HR, OKRs/QBRs, M&A readiness and integration, Rippling Rituals, Rippling product feedback, and other HR workstreams.
Build and manage project plans, trackers, dashboards, executive updates, decision documents, and enablement material that create clarity, accountability, and momentum.
Identify opportunities to improve HR processes through automation, better data, clearer ownership, and stronger operating discipline.
Anticipate risks and dependencies, surface issues early, and drive resolution without waiting for perfect direction.
Maintain strong documentation, project hygiene, and communication loops so stakeholders know what is happening, what is needed, and who owns next steps.
Handle confidential HR, employee, business, and executive information with discretion, sound judgment, and appropriate care.

Requirements

6+ years of experience in program management, project management, people operations, HR operations, consulting, business operations, or HR-related project delivery.
Strong program and project management fundamentals, including scoping, planning, governance, milestone tracking, risk management, communication, stakeholder management, and execution.
Experience supporting complex, cross-functional initiatives in fast-moving, high-growth environments.
Comfort working across different HR domains such as benefits, HR operations, and internal communications.
Strong analytical/technical skills and the ability to use AI, data, dashboards, and issue trackers to identify themes, monitor progress, and drive action.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to facilitate meetings/presentations and synthesize complex information into clear updates with practical recommendations.
Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to build trust across a variety of partners and leaders.
High judgment and discretion when handling confidential employee, HR, business, and executive-level information.
Strong attention to detail, follow-through, and ownership; you close loops and make sure work does not drift.
Comfort with ambiguity and shifting priorities; you clarify the goal, build the plan, align the right stakeholders, and keep execution moving.
Low-ego, hands-on operating style with a bias for action and a willingness to jump in wherever needed.
Ability to operate at multiple altitudes: understanding the strategic intent behind HR priorities while managing the details required to execute well.
Ability to bring structure to ambiguous work and help leaders make faster, better decisions.
Proactive about risks, dependencies, and stakeholder alignment.
Ability to communicate crisply and make complex work easy for executives and cross-functional partners to understand.
Ability to improve the operating system around you — better dashboards, clearer owners, stronger cadences, tighter follow-through, and more scalable processes.
Deep passion for AI, automations, and a self-service culture.
