People Systems and Programs Manager

Job Summary

Grow Therapy is seeking a People Systems & Programs Manager to own the technical infrastructure that powers hiring, onboarding, and supporting our people. This role also includes managing compliance programs to ensure audit readiness. Reporting to the Sr. Manager of People Systems & Operations, this individual will design and ship automation across the full employee lifecycle, manage the annual compliance calendar, and mentor the People Operations Lead.

About the Role

As the system-facing architect to the employee-facing execution, this role will focus on Rippling HRIS configuration, Workflow Studio builds, and compliance calendar ownership. The ideal candidate will have 4+ years of hands-on HRIS or People Systems experience, direct Rippling experience, and a proven track record of automating processes.

Responsibilities

• Own the People Systems roadmap — Rippling HRIS configuration, Workflow Studio builds, sandbox QA, and sprint backlog management
• Design and ship automation across the full employee lifecycle — onboarding, offboarding, internal mobility, LOA
• Manage compliance calendar end-to-end — manage and provision compliance trainings, Labor Law Postings, HR compliance filings (ACA, NDT, etc)
• Manage HRIS integrations across the people tech stack — Boundless, Ashby, Carta, Sparrow, Culture Amp, Pave, KnowBe4, Notion, Console AI, etc., ensuring data integrity and catching silent failures before they become employee-facing problems
• Partner with the People Operations Lead as her systems counterpart — you own the architecture and change controls, she owns the employee-facing transaction. When a ticket involves a change control, you prep the audit doc, sync IT, and make the Rippling change; she transacts
• Mentor and upskill the People Operations Lead on systems thinking and automation logic — building her capability so the whole team gets stronger, not just your own output

Requirements

• 4+ years of hands-on HRIS or People Systems experience with direct ownership of an HRIS platform and automation builds
• Direct Rippling experience (Workflow Studio, sandbox QA) or deep experience on a comparable platform (Workday, UKG, BambooHR) and can ramp fast
• Ownership of a compliance calendar end-to-end — you know what's on it, you don't miss it, you don't need to be reminded when a new state gets added
• Think in systems and write in plain language — you can translate a vague business requirement into a working Rippling workflow and document it clearly enough that someone else can maintain it
• Built people infrastructure at a high-growth tech company (200–1,000+ employees) and have good instincts about what to automate now, what to operationalize, and what to defer
• Energized by making the people around you better — you teach by doing alongside, not by handing off finished work
• Curious about AI and how it applies to People Operations — you don't need to be an AI engineer, but you stay current on what's possible, you've experimented with AI tooling in your work, and you naturally ask whether a new capability could replace a manual step
• Cannot help but notice when something is silently broken and fix it before it becomes someone else's problem
