Product Lead, UK & Ireland Payroll

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

Our Global business is a key growth driver at Rippling and our premium markets are the heart of that motion. This role will provide maximum responsibility and accountability: You will lead the UK and Ireland product, setting direction for one of our top 3 geographies. You will define what to build to hit growth targets and solve customer problems, jointly owning market strategy with your sales counterpart, and driving overall customer satisfaction. You are primarily measured by how much you can outperform the aggressive ARR targets we have set.    

In this role, you will need to build deep market knowledge and understanding of customer needs, requiring you to dive into support tickets, sales calls, and implementation issues and abstracting them into product strategy. You will  work closely with engineering, legal and compliance partners to build and with sales, implementation and support to launch and continuously improve the product. Your focus will never be myopic - everything you solve for your market needs to offer a configurable solution for all other markets. You think platform-first.

• Own the product vision, roadmap and execution for Rippling in UK & IE  markets
• Define path-to-sales strategy, including sequencing and scope

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, design, operations, legal, and compliance, to drive execution and ensure you’re shipping successful product with velocity
• Stay close to the data – build a deep understanding of what’s required to hit our ambitious goals
• Leverage solutions beyond your local requirements - you think “global” as much as “local”

What you will need

• 8+ years of experience between product management, consulting, financial, or founding experience
• An ability to operate with a bias to action in a fast-paced environment 
• Track record of shipping both 0-to-1 launches and scaled products used by large customer bases.
