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 $1.4B 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

As Rippling scales to $1B+ in ARR, one of the most important brand and demand generation investments we need to make is in event and field marketing. We’ve got an ambitious lineup of Tier 1 marketing events planned for 2024 and we need your support to execute it.

You’ll be responsible for a subset of those tier 1 events, managing them from end to end. You’ll need to coordinate cross functional teams to execute on a marketing plan for the event, social media strategy, content & collateral needs, sponsorship deliverables, communications, demand generation, sales enablement, staffing, and event execution & logistics. You will own the success of the event end-to-end, ensuring that it aligns with our wider event strategy and brand identity but is customized to meet the needs of the specific industry, audience and environment. Your events will be built to drive brand awareness and exponentially drive and accelerate sales pipeline.

The full event team consists of field marketers and corporate event managers. In addition to your lead events, you’ll support your colleagues’ events as needed, including pre-event preparation, on-site operations, and post-event handoffs. You’ll also partner closely with the creative team, product marketers, and growth team.
