Manager, Workplace (West Coast)

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.

• Manage regional vendors, ensuring vendors meet quality, responsiveness, cost, and service expectations.
• Own vendor escalations and recurring business reviews, translating feedback into clear corrective actions.
• Support budget planning, invoice review, and purchase approvals for West Coast workplace operations.
• Make practical tradeoffs that reflect Rippling’s operating principles: frugality, urgency, and high standards.
• Evaluate when to insource, outsource, renegotiate, simplify, or change vendors based on operational need and employee impact.

• Act as a trusted operational partner to leaders and teams who depend on the office experience.
• Translate employee feedback and business needs into specific workplace improvements.
• Partner with Workplace Technology and IT on AV and Network issues, control access tooling, and office technology reliability.
• Coordinate across business stakeholders to ensure workplace changes are practical, well-communicated, and executed on time.

• 7+ years of experience in workplace operations, including 3+ years management experience in high-growth technology or multi-site workplace environments.
• Strong hands-on operational instincts; you notice the details, solve problems quickly, and don’t wait for someone else to own the issue.
• Strong project management, written, and verbal communication skills, including the ability to manage timelines, dependencies, stakeholders, vendors, budgets, and onsite execution.
• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-change environment where priorities shift and execution speed matters.
• Strong judgment around employee experience, cost discipline, vendor performance, and operational risk.
• Experience building SOPs, playbooks, trackers, intake processes, dashboards, or other systems that make operations more scalable.
