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

Rippling’s Marketing team has built the engine behind one of the fastest startup growth stories ever. We are rapidly launching new product lines and expanding globally, and the Marketing organization is scaling in line with this hypergrowth.

Your work will touch all aspects of Rippling’s Growth function and will be vital in ensuring we operate efficiently as we grow to IPO scale and beyond and deploy tens of millions in capital. You will work with smart people on some of our most challenging problems, such as standing up a scalable, localized growth motion as we launch new countries at rapid pace, or figuring out how to assess and optimize our unit economics across a variety of Marketing channels and over 30 SKUs.

At least 2 years of experience in an operating role in a startup / growth stage company required
Prior people management experience
Experience developing a team roadmap and aligning plans with company priorities and cross-functional partners
Naturally analytical mindset; you live and breathe spreadsheets and have prior experience pulling and manipulating data in SQL
Demonstrated experience driving complex cross-functional projects
Comfort with ambiguity, and ability to work within the organizational dynamics of a fast-growth company
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, incl. executive communication
Comfortable making decisions; ability to execute with conviction and good judgment with limited guidance; needs minimal direction in an ambiguous context to take action and then adapt quickly
Willingness to roll up your sleeves and a bias for action. We’re still a startup. You’ll have to operate with partial knowledge, get hands-on with projects, and constantly be rethinking how we do things
