Collaborating with technical and business partners, you will manage and enhance our integrated platforms (e.g., Zip, Oracle, Jira) to eliminate silos, improve user experience, and ensure our systems scale alongside Ripple’s expanding global footprint.

You will lead the design and execution of sourcing processes that empower teams to move fast, ensuring we secure high-quality vendor partnerships while maintaining rigorous standards for cost management and operational excellence.
