About Rippling

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 $1.2B 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

Scaling to $1B ARR and beyond means we need to build a go-to-market engine that drives growth across dozens of product SKUs, sales segments, buyer personas, and countries.

That’s where you come in.

The GTM team brings Rippling closer to our customers. As the Senior GTM Manager, you’ll orchestrate the go-to-market for one of our customer segments. We’ll look to you for expertise on who those customers are and how to design strategies to reach and connect with them. You will gather and analyze market intelligence to ensure we tell the right stories in the right channels, so our sales team can win.

This role is highly cross-functional. You will work closely with Rippling’s Sales teams, the rest of our Marketing machine, and our product organization. We’d love to talk to you if you have a strong GM mindset, are a compelling storyteller, and obsess about customers.

Our GTM team sits within the marketing organization. It’s based in our San Francisco office.

What you will do

• Manage your focus area like a GM with a focus on how to improve metrics like awareness, attach rate, win rate, ACV, and customer retention.
• Conduct deep customer research and synthesize insights about our products, target audiences, and personas
• Develop GTM fundamentals, including messaging, positioning, personas, and more, grounded on a strategic understanding of what will have the biggest impact on our win rates
• Educate our sales teams and create sales tools / collateral to help them win.
• Be the in-house expert (buyers, influencers, competitors, industry, etc.) on your segment.
• Be a spokesperson, evangelist, and thought leader with analysts, customers, and partners.

What you will need

• 5+ years of experience in general management, product, business operations, consulting, or product marketing (2+ years experience in marketing highly preferred)
• Proven ability to sell and market to customers. You understand how to select an audience and build a compelling story that connects with attitudes and needs.
• You are an exceptional problem solver. You can decompose complex problems, identify patterns from noisy data, develop action plans, and effectively communicate insights
• You pride yourself in making the impossible possible. You are resourceful, have a bias towards action, and get energy juggling multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• You are results-oriented and evidence-driven. You say the truth even when it's inconvenient and admit what you don't know.
• Superb ability to influence, collaborate and project manage. You build trust with a variety of personalities and get folks onside, even when there are competing priorities.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills. You clearly tell a story without resorting to jargon.
• You are a quick learner. You pick up context rapidly and easily adapt to new challenges.
• A creative spark. While analytical chops are critical to your success, we also pride ourselves on being able to think outside the box.
