Skills
About the Role
You will be the single internal point of contact for diversity, equity, and inclusion at Ripple, owning both the day-to-day operations and the strategic rhythm of the ERG program. You will coach ERG Leads and partner across the business with discretion, good judgment, and genuine care for the communities you serve. You will operationally and strategically own Ripple's seven global ERGs, keeping the program running smoothly across global regions, optimizing the governance model, managing events and milestones, and ensuring each ERG has what it needs to deliver a high-quality member experience. You will own impact reporting, budget tracking, and the overall program rhythm. Once a year, you will bring together Ripple's global ERG Leads for an in-person summit that you own end to end, from agenda and sessions to logistics and experience. You will coach ERG Leads and Executive Sponsors, who are volunteers balancing this work with their full-time jobs, acting as a thought partner rather than a manager. You will help Leads grow from orientation through strategic ownership and advise Executive Sponsors on how to show up effectively, including supporting communities they may not be part of. You will build trusted, low-friction relationships across recruiting, HRBPs, People Operations, Compensation and Benefits, Internal Events, Communications, Workplace, and Legal, and you will manage Ripple's external DEI partnerships including sponsorships, training platforms, and speakers.
