Job summary

Hadrian is rapidly expanding its People team and seeks a People Systems Product Manager to own the HRIS (Rippling) and related systems, shaping roadmap, integrations, and governance. You will translate business needs into scalable configurations, build dashboards, and partner with People Operations, Recruiting, Finance, IT, and leadership to scale the workforce.

The role emphasizes data integrity, process design, and cross-functional collaboration in a high-growth manufacturing tech environment.

Qualifications

• 6+ years owning or deeply administering an HRIS - Rippling experience strongly preferred; comparable platforms (Workday, BambooHR, HiBob) considered
• Hands-on experience building workflow automations within an HRIS - not just configuring fields, but designing logic, testing edge cases, and maintaining rules at scale
• A track record of owning data quality in a fast-moving environment - you’ve cleaned up a messy system and built processes to keep it clean
• Translate business requirements - you translate complex People and business needs into clear system configuration and custom solutions
• Process analysis and design - you map, document, and optimize People workflows (onboarding, payroll, performance management, etc.) and create supporting SOPs
• Experience scoping integration requirements - you know enough to write a clear brief, manage a vendor, and QA the output, even if you didn’t build the pipelines yourself
• Strong analytical instincts - you define what a dashboard needs to answer before you build it, and you catch data problems before they become leadership problems
• A bias toward action and ownership - comfortable operating independently in a hyper-growth startup environment

Responsibilities

• Own People systems end-to-end - serve as the internal product owner across all People systems and modules across our HRIS (Rippling), managing the roadmap, driving configuration decisions, and ensuring platforms scale with the business
• Audit where we’re under-leveraging native capabilities, surface quick wins, and build out the automation workflows that eliminate manual People processes across onboarding, offboarding, approvals, and compliance
• Own our People data integrity - Build the processes and governance structures that keep our people data clean over time with repeatable standards that scale with the business
• Identify where native system capabilities end and integrations are needed, scope those requirements clearly, and manage any consultants or vendors brought in to execute
• Partner cross-functionally with People Operations, Recruiting, Finance, IT, and department heads to align on priorities, manage competing demands, and communicate tradeoffs in plain language
• Build and maintain foundational people reporting - establish the recurring reports and dashboards that give People and leadership a reliable, accurate view of the workforce
• Own and actively manage all people system vendor relationships - pushing forward our internal roadmap through platform enhancements and enablement
