And we get to do the best work of our career and grow our skills surrounded by colleagues who have our backs.
If you’re ready to see your impact and unlock incredible career growth opportunities, join us, and build real world value.
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.

Learning Development Manager Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a learning development manager in New York?
Most learning development managers in New York hold a bachelor's degree in instructional design, organizational development, human resources, or education, with many senior roles expecting a master's. There is no state-issued license for this role in New York. Employers favor candidates who have held specialist or senior individual-contributor roles in L&D first, and the ATD Certified Professional in Talent Development credential is widely respected among large New York organizations.
How much do learning development managers make in New York?
Learning development managers in New York earn a median of about $171,400 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $103,590 for the lowest 10% to over $280,850 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire learning development managers in New York?
Employers hiring learning development managers in New York right now include City University of New York, Amazon, and Protiviti, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's concentration of large financial institutions, hospital systems, and global professional services firms means steady, year-round demand rather than seasonal spikes.
Which New York cities have the most learning development manager jobs?
New York, Brooklyn, and Buffalo have the most learning development manager openings in New York. New York City dominates because it is home to the headquarters or major offices of the state's largest financial, healthcare, and technology employers, while White Plains and Albany draw openings from regional corporate campuses and state government agencies that run substantial workforce development programs.
Are there remote learning development manager jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most fields. Much of the work, including curriculum design, LMS administration, and virtual facilitation, is well suited to remote delivery. About 36% of learning development manager openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how broadly the role has shifted to digital delivery. Live facilitation and stakeholder kickoff sessions are the parts most likely to require in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a learning development manager in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving up from an L&D coordinator, training specialist, or instructional designer role within a large New York employer. Institutions such as NYU, Montefiore Health System, and major financial firms regularly post associate or program coordinator positions that develop into manager roles. Building a portfolio of course samples and completing the ATD Certificate in Instructional Design gives candidates a concrete edge when applying to those entry-level openings.
