Senior Platform & Enablement Manager

Remote

Ren is looking for a Senior People Platform & Enablement Manager to own the systems behind the employee and manager experience: our ATS, HRIS, and the engagement, learning and development, and performance management platforms.

Your top priority is making these systems work together and work harder by automating manual workflows, integrating People platforms with Ren's other tools, and using AI to remove friction for employees, managers, and the People team.

You'll bring a product mindset (running discovery, prioritizing a roadmap, and measuring impact) and know how to get vendor-built systems to deliver what our people need.

This is an individual contributor role with no internal engineering team. You'll drive impact through configuration, integrations, and vendor partners, and through the trust you build to influence change across the People team and the business.

• Systems & Vendor Ownership. Own and administer all People platforms, including configuration, permissions, data integrity, upgrades, troubleshooting, and vendor support. Lead vendor evaluation, selection, and contract negotiation, and help scope, hire, and manage implementation partners, holding them accountable for timeline, budget, and quality. This work is heaviest in year 1 and shrinks once systems reach a steady state.
• Automation & Integration. Find and eliminate manual, error-prone work across hiring, onboarding, employee changes, performance cycles, and offboarding. Use native automation, APIs, and middleware to connect People systems with Ren's finance, IT, AI, and collaboration tools. Fix broken processes with the People team before automating them, and measure results in hours saved and errors avoided.
• AI Enablement & Transformation. Lead AI adoption across People systems and workflows in partnership with Ren's internal AI strategy team. Evaluate and pilot AI features and tools, scale what works, set guardrails for employee data with IT, Legal, and Compliance, and help People teammates build AI skills. Represent the People domain in Ren's broader AI strategy.
• Roadmap, Delivery & Adoption. Own the People tech roadmap. Run discovery with employees, managers, and People stakeholders, then choose the right path for each priority: configure, integrate through APIs or middleware, or replace, all without custom-built software. Lead rollouts through training and communication, and iterate based on usage and feedback.
• Cross-Functional Leadership & Influence. Build trusted relationships with People team leaders and business stakeholders, and drive adoption of changes you don’t directly control. Partner with People COE leaders as the accountable owner for People systems initiatives: set scope, align priorities, manage timelines and budgets, and maintain documentation and governance. This includes the systems and process work streams for reorgs, acquisitions, performance management, and OKR cycles.
• Metrics, Reporting & Insights. Build dashboards covering platform health (adoption, satisfaction, data quality, automation impact) and people metrics (hiring, retention, engagement, performance), and turn the data into clear recommendations for leaders.

• People systems ownership. 6+ years in HR systems, People technology, or People operations, including primary ownership of tools like an HRIS and ATS.
• Automation and integration. You've automated HR workflows and integrated People systems with other tools using native workflow builders, middleware, or APIs, and can show measurable results.
• Applied AI experience. You've used AI tools and features to automate work, and you know where AI helps, where it…
