As a technology-forward company, Ro employees have high expectations for intuitive systems, seamless experiences, and high-quality support. You bring a passion for improving how work gets done through scalable processes, modern technology, automation, and AI-enabled solutions that create efficient, consumer-grade employee experiences.

  • Oversee benefits and leave administration programs, ensuring competitive offerings, operational excellence, and compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations
  • Ensure strong governance, compliance, and operational controls across People systems, policies, processes, and employee data management practices
  • Lead and modernize employee support operations, including self-service capabilities, knowledge management, service standards, and scalable employee support models
  • Drive operational excellence across the employee lifecycle, including onboarding, internal mobility, and offboarding experiences
  • Apply product management and service design principles to employee-facing programs, systems, and operational workflows to continuously improve the employee experience
  • Lead operational transformation initiatives and change management efforts that improve scalability, organizational efficiency, and employee experience across the business

What You’ll Bring to the Team:

  • 10–15+ years of experience in People Operations, HR Operations, or related functions, including leadership experience in high-growth or complex environments
  • Deep expertise in HR systems, people analytics, workforce reporting, workflow automation, and operational process design

  • Ability to operate effectively at both strategic and tactical levels, balancing long-term initiatives with hands-on operational execution
  • Strong communication and change management skills, with experience driving operational transformation and adoption across organizations
