Rippling is a unified platform for HR, IT, and Finance that consolidates workforce systems including payroll, expenses, benefits, and device management. The company has raised $1.4B+ from top-tier investors including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, and Sequoia. As Product Strategy and Operations Lead, you will build and run Rippling's Product Strategy & Operations function—a senior, cross-functional role at the heart of the Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) organization. You'll work in close partnership with the Chief Product Officer, Chief Technology Officer, EPD leadership, go-to-market teams, and Finance. You will own three core pillars: 1. Building operational rigor to sustain high-velocity product releases while maintaining quality and predictability. 2. Establishing measurement infrastructure and analytics frameworks to validate product success post-launch and inform iteration. 3. Designing planning systems that ensure the product roadmap remains aligned with strategic objectives and market opportunities. This role requires deep thinking about products and markets, obsessive focus on building world-class operating systems, and a data-driven approach to decision-making. You'll establish processes that connect product strategy to execution, drive operational excellence across the product development lifecycle, and enable the organization to scale innovation. You'll report to senior leadership and influence how Rippling manages its product portfolio, prioritizes initiatives, and measures impact.
