About The Position

As a Senior Back Office Consultant at Ridgeline, you will lead end-to-end functional implementations of our enterprise cloud software for investment management customers. You’ll act as a strategic partner to clients—designing, configuring, and deploying workflows that span the full investment lifecycle, with a focus on back office transformation. Your consultative mindset, technical curiosity, and collaborative approach will be critical to driving successful customer go-lives and delivering lasting value. You will use cutting-edge technologies—including AI tools like ChatGPT—to improve implementation efficiency, enhance customer engagement, and accelerate adoption. At Ridgeline, how we work matters as much as what we build. Ridgeliners act like owners, choose growth over comfort, and communicate with transparency. We assume positive intent, bias toward action, and bring solutions—not just problems. We celebrate wins, learn from setbacks, and thrive in a resilient, collaborative, high-performing culture. Ridgeline is the first front-to-back system of record for investment managers. Founded by visionary entrepreneur Dave Duffield (co-founder of both PeopleSoft and Workday), the company was created to modernize an industry held back by outdated, disconnected technology. Powered by a single, real-time data set and embedded AI, Ridgeline helps firms automate complexity, accelerate collaboration, and deliver tailored client experiences at scale, without added headcount or risk.
