Careers
Ripple Effect has built an employee-first culture that prioritizes lifelong learning, flexibility, and adaptability. We were recently named a Best and Brightest Company to Work For®, and that’s no accident. We support crucial, life-changing missions through our clients, and we wouldn’t be able to support them without an equally talented, passionate workforce. Wherever you are, whether you’re a communicator or scientist, researcher or analyst, or anything in between, there’s a place for you here. Sound interesting?

Our People
Here, we’re authentic and real with one another. We ask lots of questions and challenge each other’s logic, whether that’s in the office or at a local trivia event. We’re all about recognition here: expressing gratitude for jobs well done, shouting out Ripplers on social media, and rewarding exceptional performance. We love to celebrate wins and share our successes together, from team happy hours to company-wide annual awards events. Click through the image carousel to see some of the fun we’ve had recently.

Benefits
& Total Rewards
We believe that a fulfilling work experience is much more than the salary you earn—it’s a combination of preferences and perks that work for you and your lifestyle. That’s why we offer a tailored total rewards package, from adjustable work statuses to personalized benefit structures and financial compensation options: to give you choice and flexibility.
Diversity, Equity,
Inclusion & Accessibility
At Ripple Effect, no one has a monopoly on ideas. To serve our clients best and help them perform better, we need to understand their challenges, their hang-ups, and their perspectives. To do that, we need people with diverse ideas, skills, and backgrounds, and we’ve built our company on the value of embracing unique voices and experiences and creating a sense of belonging. When people are valued for their strengths and treated with respect, and when they feel comfortable, confident in their selves, and appreciated, we all perform better. That’s good for us, good for our people, and good for our clients.
Military Community
Former military service members, spouses, and families are some of the hardest working, adaptable, dedicated, and dependable people in the job market. Ripple Effect is a home for military service members and families, and that’s why we’ve partnered with Hiring Our Heroes and the Military Spouse Fellowship Program (MSFP)—to find talented people with the desire to serve that aligns with our desire to work smarter, perform better, and make our clients successful, no matter the challenge. If you’re looking for your next step, we encourage you to reach out and meet us.
Hiring Our Heroes
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) initiative launched in March 2011 as a nationwide effort to connect veterans, service members, and military spouses with meaningful employment opportunities. Working with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s vast network of state and local chambers and strategic partners from the public, private, and non-profit sectors, our goal is to create a movement across America in hundreds of communities where veterans and military families return every day.
Military Spouse Fellowship Program
The Hiring Our Heroes Military Spouse Fellowship Program (MSFP) provides military spouses with professional training, networking, and hands-on experience in the civilian workforce. The professional development and direct connection to local employers offered through the program enable military spouses to quickly build their networks and gain localized job experience. Participating host companies gain access to a highly skilled and educated talent pool. Visit the MSFP webpageto learn more.
Military Skills Translator
Service members have a wealth of valuable knowledge and skills that they’ve acquired, but sometimes it can be hard to translate those skills to the civilian workforce. Check out the Military Skills Translator from Military.com—it matches a veteran’s military occupation code (MOS, AFSC, and Rating), sub-specialties and other professional military skills to civilian job opportunities.
Disability
& Accommodations
People with disabilities are a vastly under-employed and untapped resource of talent and adaptability. At Ripple Effect, our work culture welcomes and supports those with disabilities, from our accessible, universal design office space to flexible work arrangements and awareness campaigns to eliminate stigmas.
A Truly Flexible
Work Environment
Lots of companies say that they offer flexible work, at Ripple Effect, we really mean it!
We hire individuals to work in a variety of capacities – from full-time to part-time to on-call -and we provide maximum flexibility for work hours so employees can work when they’re most productive – during the day and during the month.
At Ripple Effect, we offer flexible options ranging from part-time on-call to part-time regular to full-time reduced. Part of Ripple Effect’s philosophy of working smarter and performing better is being open to when and where Ripplers do their best work. We have some staff that work at a reduced schedule of 75-80% time, many that work outside of a traditional 9 to 5 schedule, and still others taking advantage of our remote work options.
Just because a job is posted as “full-time”, it can still be flexible. Please ask your recruiter!
For full-time employees who meet the requirements to decline medical coverage, we offer a semi-monthly fringe benefit disbursed in every paycheck. End-of-year bonuses can be redeemed in cash, PTO, or 401(k) contributions, and holiday leave can be rolled over and applied at later dates within the year. Career paths are measurable and customizable, to give employees control over their professional journey and their passions.
