Product Lead, Spend Platform

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.

What You Will Need

• 5+ years of Product Management experience

About the Team

The team owns two key product areas within Spend Management: Spend Platform capabilities and Spend Growth. Spend Platform capabilities are features that will be used across the Spend Management product (bill pay, expenses, and corp cards) such as category improvements, approval automation, and policy enhancements. Spend Growth includes features that make it easier/possible for more customers to use our product and get onboarded quickly and successfully, and includes solving problems such as expediting credit limit and risk assessment, facilitating migration of existing card spend to Rippling, and evolving our reward and redemption programs.

Even if you don’t meet all of the requirements listed here, we still encourage you to apply. Skills can be used in lots of different ways and your life and professional experience may be relevant beyond what a list of requirements will capture.
