About Ridgeline

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Duffield (co-founder of both PeopleSoft and Workday), the company was created to modernize an industry held back by outdated, disconnected technology.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. Ridgeline is headquartered in Lake Tahoe, with offices in New York, Reno, and the Bay Area, and is recognized by Fast Company as a "Best Workplace for Innovators," by Frost & Sullivan as a "Technology Innovation Leader," and by The Software Report as a "Top 100 Software Company."

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. If this excites you, we'd love to meet you!

You must be work authorized in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship now or in the future.

Why this role exists

Ridgeline is looking for a Systems Analyst to help design and build the finance and data ecosystem that powers our next stage of growth. You'll partner across the business to shape how our core systems work together, and bring an AI-forward mindset to how we plan, report, and scale. You'll have real influence over those decisions, working closely with finance leadership to turn your recommendations into what we actually build. You'll also have direct access to Ridgeline's AI toolset (Claude, ChatGPT, Glean, and more) to do it.

What success looks like

Within 6 months, you'll have partnered with accounting, HR and other business teams to move the Workday Financials implementation forward, and you'll help re-implement Adaptive Planning so it's used organization-wide rather than siloed to one team. Within a year, you'll have designed and stood up a full planning strategy — spanning hierarchies, workflows, headcount, vendor, financial, and scenario planning — that other teams rely on daily.
