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.

By connecting every workforce system to a single source of truth for employee data, businesses can automate all of the manual work they normally need to do to make employee changes. Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can just click a button and set up a new employee’s payroll, health insurance, work computer, and third-party apps like Slack, Zoom, and Office 365—all within 90 seconds.

Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $1.4B+ from the world's top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Bedrock, and Greenoaks—and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes (#12 out of 500)

About the role

Rippling’s finance products are responsible for moving billions of dollars and executing payments to millions of workers each week. These products are usually the first ones that customers use when they switch to Rippling, and so our product teams are constantly testing the frontiers in expanding our business upmarket, and supporting new countries. 

Our mission is to support that expansion on a single, unified platform. It’s never been done before in the industry, and it’s an intellectually demanding endeavor. But the rewards are high - we are abstracting a tremendous amount of complexity from our users, and delivering a platform that they run their business on. 

We are looking for an experienced PM to lead to report directly to the VP of Product, and wrangle some of our hardest challenges. You’ll work closely with teams of engineers, designers, compliance and policy experts across the company, as well as GTM teams, to scale the business, and build features that benefit millions of employees. 

What role do Product Leads play at Rippling? The product team owns Rippling’s product direction, defining what to build in order to solve customer problems in a way that allows them to succeed. We do this by intimately understanding the market, our customers, and the perspectives of our key stakeholders and synthesizing that into a product that is effective, efficient, and easy to use.

• Collaborate with other Rippling finance products teams - core payroll, payments, compliance, and other product teams to ship major enhancements to the platform
• Work cross-functionally across product, engineering, design, marketing and customer-facing functions to plan, spec, build, and ship new capabilities

What you will need

• 5+ years of experience in product management, or founding experience. Background in bizops, engineering, or consulting appreciated.
