THE WORK:
Ripple is building something rare: a Learning & Development function that operates like a strategic business partner. We're more than just a training department. We run needs analysis with leaders and drive measurable performance outcomes, treating learning as a lever for company growth. This role is at the center of that ambition.
As Senior Learning & Development Manager focused on enterprise capabilities, you'll lead the programs and initiatives that shape how every Rippler works starting with AI fluency, evangelizing and embedding learning and cultural frameworks, manage our team onsite practice, and work with partners to identify the next capability gaps for Ripple to get to the next level.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
AI Fluency and Adoption
- Lead the evolution of AIQ, Ripple's AI literacy program, from the current foundational self-paced experience to a comprehensive, multi-format learning ecosystem.
- Run live AI demos, facilitate workshops, and serve as a visible, credible voice for real-world AI usage at work.
- Build AI-powered tools and experiences that solve actual performance and career growth problems using Claude and other AI solutions.
- Develop AI builds that advance learning and development's own capabilities and tools including our individual development plans, AI coaching, and more.
- Support hackathons and innovation events; be one of the go-to people for people to understand what AI can actually do for their job.
Evangelize Learning and Cultural Frameworks
- Own the strategy for making the Real Colors framework a genuine cultural staple at Ripple by weaving it into core programs, manager conversations, and onboarding experiences.
- Ensure Ripple's values are centered in our company-wide programs and to drive cohesion across multiple business lines globally.
- Drive understanding of Ripple's product line across the organization and uncovering where Product training can help align business units and drive the One Ripple mission.
- Champion Ripple's learning ecosystem from the Professional Development Stipend to platforms like LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, O'Reilly, and more.
Facilitation, Onsites, and Coaching
- Manage the intake and triage process for team onsite requests. You won't facilitate everything, but you own the process and the quality bar.
- Collaborate with the learning and development team to design and deliver experiences that advance performance, build strong trust and relationships, and get stuff done.
- Facilitate live and virtual sessions across all levels with the kind of presence that makes people want to stay in the room.
- You will coach individuals and leaders in a 1:1 or small group setting to help better understand their needs and deploy solutions to support their growth and performance.
Enterprise Capability Strategy
- Partner with the Director of learning and development, HRBPs, and business leaders to identify company-wide skill gaps and design solutions that move the needle.
- Conduct needs analysis, develop learning strategies, and communicate plans to senior leadership with clarity and conviction.
- Build enablement resources, workshops, Confluence pages, Rise modules, that are clean, actionable, and actually get used.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING:
- 6+ years in Learning & Development, enablement, or a closely related field — with experience operating at a strategic level, not just delivering programs.
- Demonstrated AI practitioner experience: you've built tools, automated workflows, or designed AI-powered experiences — not just used AI as a productivity shortcut.
- Proven facilitation and coaching skills across diverse audiences including executives, engineers, and global teams, in person and virtually.
- Experience conducting needs analysis and translating findings into learning strategies that you've presented to and gained buy-in from senior leadership.
- Comfort with data: using it to build a case, identify gaps, and make decisions about what to keep, change, or retire.
- Experience with Articulate Rise, Confluence, or equivalent tools is a plus.
- People management experience is a strong plus; it adds credibility when working alongside leaders and managers at all levels.
WHO WE ARE:
Do Your Best Work

- In-office collaboration for moments that matter is important to our culture, and we give managers and teams the flexibility to decide which 10+ days a month they come in.
- Bi-weekly all-company meeting - business updates and ask me anything style discussion with our Leadership Team.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Learning Development Manager
Align your degree to the role
USCIS evaluates whether your degree field directly relates to Learning Development Manager duties. A degree in instructional design, organizational development, or human resources strengthens your specialty occupation case far more than a general business degree.
Search LCA filings by occupation code
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up LCA filings under SOC code 11-3131 (Training and Development Managers). Employers with certified LCAs for that code have already cleared the DOL's prevailing wage review for your exact role.
Target employers in regulated industries
Healthcare systems, financial institutions, and federal contractors must document workforce training rigorously. These organizations sponsor H-1B Learning Development Managers at higher rates because the role is structurally essential, not discretionary.
Use Migrate Mate to filter verified sponsors
Filter Learning Development Manager openings by H-1B filing history on Migrate Mate. You'll see which employers have sponsored this title before, so you're not guessing at sponsorship willingness during early application stages.
Get the LCA wage level confirmed before signing
Ask your recruiter which prevailing wage level the employer will use when filing the LCA. A Level I or II designation can affect your total compensation and signals how the employer classifies your seniority, which matters for future promotions and extensions.
Plan your filing timeline around cap deadlines
H-1B cap-subject petitions must be filed for October 1 employment starts, with registration opening in March. If you're on OPT, confirm your EAD expiration date against this timeline so your employer can file a cap-gap extension if needed.
H-1B Visa Learning Development Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Learning Development Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the employer requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as instructional design, organizational development, or human resources. USCIS scrutinizes L&D roles more closely when the degree requirement is listed as preferred rather than required, so confirming the job description language before your employer files the petition matters.
Which employers commonly sponsor H-1B visas for Learning Development Manager positions?
Large technology companies, hospital networks, financial services firms, and professional services organizations are the most consistent sponsors for this title. These employers run formal learning functions with headcount justification that supports the specialty occupation standard. You can verify filing history by searching employer LCA records through the OFLC or by browsing verified sponsors on Migrate Mate.
How does the prevailing wage requirement affect Learning Development Manager compensation?
Before filing your H-1B petition, your employer must certify through the DOL that your offered salary meets the prevailing wage for Training and Development Managers in your work location and at your assigned wage level. You can look up the applicable wage using the OFLC Wage Search before your offer is finalized to benchmark what the employer is required to pay.
Can a Learning Development Manager transfer their H-1B to a new employer mid-status?
Yes. H-1B portability under AC21 lets you start working for a new employer as soon as that employer files a transfer petition, without waiting for approval. The new role must still qualify as a specialty occupation. Since Learning Development Manager duties can vary significantly by employer, your new employer's job description and degree requirements need to hold up to the same USCIS standard as the original petition.
What degree fields support an H-1B petition for a Learning Development Manager?
Degrees in instructional design, adult education, organizational development, industrial-organizational psychology, or human resources management are the strongest matches. A general business or communications degree can work if your coursework concentrated in workforce development or training methodology. The O*NET occupation profile for Training and Development Managers lists the typical education background USCIS references when evaluating specialty occupation claims for this role.
