About the role

We are seeking an experienced Technical Operator to join our team. The role will be a thoughtful, high powered technical operator supporting the Implementation team at Rippling. This role sits at the dynamic intersection of our customer lifecycle where we implement our customers at a high level. Our customer base continues to rapidly grow across  the world and we deliver over 25,000 implementations annually (and growing). Therefore this is a mission critical role which requires technical expertise to understand (i) how we implement customers across products, teams, segments (ii) where we can optimize implementation performance (iii) and what tools we can deploy to improve efficiency in this process.

We have several sub-orgs and dozens of implementation segments, each with specific and nuanced coverage areas for the customers they service. Your role will be to develop deep expertise across our entire customer lifecycle and then focus on supporting all Implementation teams across the entire company. You will primarily focus on understanding the entire implementation function and translating that understanding into simplified visuals and frameworks for how implementation work is completed, where there are consistencies and where we can automate workflows. You will become a subject matter expert on the implementation process and propose direct and actionable systems solutions for breaking down and building out a comprehensive implementation workflow in our technical environment. You will partner with our RevOps and Business Systems teams to design, develop, deploy, and operate a brand new architecture to simplify operations for one of our largest internal teams. This role's output will directly translate into smoother implementation processes, faster time-to-implement, increases in CSAT scores, and ultimately a better experience for our customers.

This role will be directly responsible for delivering a high-impact, highly visible strategic project for the business. You will be partnering with RevOps, Systems and Leadership Teams to design weekly, monthly and quarterly project roadmaps and then will be held accountable to delivering across those roadmaps.
