Rippling gives businesses one place to run HR, IT, and Finance. It brings together all of the workforce systems that are normally scattered across a company, like payroll, expenses, benefits, and computers. For the first time ever, you can manage and automate every part of the employee lifecycle in a single system.
Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can hire a new employee anywhere in the world and set up their payroll, corporate card, computer, benefits, and even third-party apps like Slack and Microsoft 365—all within 90 seconds.
Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $1.85B+ from the world’s top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Greenoaks, and Bedrock—and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes.

About the role
At Rippling, Design is central to our mission to free smart people to tackle hard problems.

You'll play a key role in growing design talent, strengthening team culture, and partnering with cross-functional leaders to raise the quality and impact of the organization.
Your team owns products at the heart of how companies manage their workforce, from core employee records to onboarding, compliance, and global workforce operations. You'll lead the evolution of these experiences while helping define Rippling's AI-first future, designing intelligent workflows and agentic experiences that automate HR work at scale.
Success in this role requires a leader who can navigate highly complex product domains, think in systems, and balance long-term platform strategy with exceptional product execution.
