Program Manager, Learning

Rippling gives businesses one place to run HR, IT, and Finance. It brings together all of the workforce systems that are normally scattered across a company, like payroll, expenses, benefits, and computers. For the first time ever, you can manage and automate every part of the employee lifecycle in a single system.

Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can hire a new employee anywhere in the world and set up their payroll, corporate card, computer, benefits, and even third-party apps like Slack and Microsoft 365—all within 90 seconds.

Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $1.4B+ from the world’s top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Greenoaks, and Bedrock—and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes.

We’re looking for a Program Manager, Learning to help build, operate, and scale learning for individual contributors and front-line managers across the company.

This is an individual contributor role for someone who can operate as both a strategist and an executor. You’ll diagnose business and talent needs, partner closely with HRBPs and business leaders, design practical learning solutions, deliver and facilitate programs, manage multiple work streams end to end, and measure whether the work is actually changing behavior. This person will need to design and operate learning solutions that can scale globally with the flexibility needed for different regions, audiences, business contexts, and ways of working.

This is not a traditional course-builder role. We’re looking for someone who knows that learning can take many forms: a live manager program, an async Slack nudge series, a sharp self-serve resource, a targeted enablement campaign, a short-form video, a podcast-style learning asset, or something we haven’t tried yet. The right person will know how to choose the right format for the problem, audience, and moment.

You’ll join a very lean team and will be expected to operate with a high degree of ownership, judgment, and independence while building under the guidance of the Learning Business Partners & Programs lead.

This role is based in our San Francisco headquarters and follows a hybrid schedule of 3 days per week in office.
