About the role

Business Operations is Rippling’s strike team for high-stakes, mission-critical challenges. We are the architects behind product development, go-to-market strategies, and scale operations across the entire company. Operating as the connective tissue for our compound startup, this small, elite unit brings structure to massive ambiguity and executes with relentless precision.

What they're looking for

  • 4+ years of battle-tested experience in top-tier management consulting, BizOps, VC/PE, or as a startup founder. Exceptional talent with fewer years but a proven track record of rapid acceleration will be considered
  • Cross-functional mastery: A deep understanding of organizational dynamics in high-velocity tech environments
  • A data-first instinct: You instinctively open a spreadsheet, code a query, or analyze a dataset before building a slide deck
  • Extreme altitude-switching: Equally comfortable pitching strategy to C-suite executives as you are getting into the weeds with frontline operators
  • Relentless ownership and grit: You don't pass the mic or make excuses—you take full accountability and solve problems permanently
  • High-conviction autonomy: You thrive in chaos, make sound calls with incomplete data, and move fast without waiting for a playbook
