Operations Manager
Rippletide SAS, San Francisco, CA, United States
Rippletide is hiring an Operations Manager in San Francisco to handle the day-to-day running of our US entity. You will manage vendor relationships, HR administration, contracts, and compliance — ensuring that the San Francisco office operates smoothly and stays tightly coordinated with Paris HQ. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role with direct access to the founding team and broad visibility across the business.
What You'll Do
Handle day-to-day operational tasks for the US entity: contracting, vendor management, compliance, and expense tracking.
Coordinate with external accountants, legal counsel, and benefits providers to keep administrative obligations on track.
Manage the contract lifecycle for US vendors, partners, and customers — drafting, tracking, and maintaining a clean register.
Support US HR processes: onboarding, benefits enrollment, contractor agreements, and employment documentation.
Maintain internal operational tools and processes: document management, CRM hygiene, and cross-border reporting.
Assist the founding team with data room management, investor reporting, and operational due diligence for fundraising.
What We're Looking For
2–4 years of experience in operations, office management, or executive support at a US startup.
Detail-oriented and reliable — you keep track of what needs doing and do it without being asked twice.
Basic familiarity with US corporate administration: Delaware entity governance, contractor vs. employee rules, benefits basics.
Comfortable switching context rapidly across legal, HR, finance, and logistics tasks.
Strong written and verbal communication in English; experience coordinating across time zones is a plus.
Based in San Francisco.
Entrepreneur mindset — you treat problems as opportunities, take ownership instinctively, and move with urgency.
Nice to Have
Experience at a transatlantic company (US + France or EU).
Familiarity with Carta, Ramp, Rippling, or similar startup ops tools.
Prior exposure to Series A fundraising processes or investor relations.
Previous experience as a founder or co-founder.
What We Offer
Competitive salary and early-employee equity.
Broad ownership and direct access to the founding team.
San Francisco office at 2 Embarcadero.
Full US benefits including health, dental, and vision.
