Sr. Associate

BridgeBio Pharma•San Francisco, CA

2d•$120,000 - $155,000•Hybrid

About The Position

The People Operations, Systems & Innovation team builds the operational infrastructure powering BridgeBio's People function — replacing fragmented, manual processes with intelligent, integrated systems that scale with a commercial-stage biotech. Our north star is an AI-native People operating model where Workday, Greenhouse, ServiceNow, and Moveworks function as a single system, routine HR volume is handled by intelligent agents, and every process is designed for where we're going — not optimized for where we are. The Business Systems Manager is BridgeBio's senior functional owner across this stack. Operating within a joint IT & People Technology model, this role owns product and system administration for all People systems and actively shapes the team's AI architecture and innovation agenda. This is not a ticket-queue role. The Business Systems Manager drives a structured roadmap, governs IT/People change control, translates business requirements into system design, and ensures every configuration decision is made before building. This role is equally fluent in system architecture and employee experience design — and brings both lenses to every project they own.

5+ years of hands-on Workday HCM administration as a named system owner or HRIS product owner in a regulated environment

Comfortable with Workday Report Writer, EIB, and structured data

Hands-on Moveworks or equivalent conversational AI platform experience (agent configuration, intent taxonomy, RAG) strongly preferred

You think in journeys and service catalogs, not tickets and configurations; track record of using listening data to drive measurable improvements
Proven ability to build credibility across IT, Finance, Legal, and TA — equally comfortable co-signing a SOX control and running a discovery session with an HRBP
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area; available to work regularly from SF and Palo Alto offices
