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

Rippling’s Time Products suite provides a set of capabilities that power hourly workforces and provides rich support for customers with complex workforce management needs. The current Time Products suite includes Scheduling, Time Off (Leave Management), Time & Attendance, and Rippling’s Kiosk App. Without nailing this critical product area, we won't be able to achieve our mid-term growth targets or achieve our strategic imperative of supporting enterprise-grade customers.

As a Product Lead in this area, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the direction of the Time Products suite and driving the execution of its roadmap, with an ambitious goal of building a best-in-class workforce management solution that can outcompete any others on the market. You'll help determine which capabilities - ranging across automation, biometric kiosks, geofencing, global / statutory rules, mobile, employee chat, attendance & adherence, approval policies, forecasting, budgeting, and more - the time products team should invest in and prioritize. You'll make sure that you're multiple steps ahead of market needs, driving an aggressive roadmap that accounts for the ever-growing demands of customers that rely on Rippling for their business processes.

In addition to owning the evolution of our core capabilities, you will be responsible for leading the self-serve onboarding, free trial experience, and product activation flows for a new standalone version of Rippling’s Time Products. This work is central to Rippling’s growth strategy — creating a high-leverage entry point that draws new customers into our ecosystem and unlocks downstream expansion across our full product suite.

What you will do

• Develop and launch new features that unlock growth and adoption of the Time Products suite, including Time Off (Leave Management), Time & Attendance, Scheduling, and our Kiosk App.
• Lead the development of self-serve onboarding, free trial experiences, and product activation flows for a new standalone version of Rippling’s Time Products — a key initiative to attract new customers and drive cross-sell into Rippling’s broader platform.
• Understand the competitive landscape and customer needs to define the critical feature set for a category-defining workforce management solution.
• Obsess over building a feature-rich, yet elegant, easy-to-use, and intuitive product experience that delights both employees and administrators.
• Work cross-functionally with engineering, design, go-to-market, marketing, compliance, sales, and account management teams to ensure end-to-end customer and sales success.
• Stay deeply attuned to market trends, customer feedback, and emerging technologies to ensure the Time Products suite remains competitive, innovative, and several steps ahead of market needs.

What you will need

• 5+ years of Product Management experience
• Self-starter with a bias towards action
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
• Strong product and usability instincts
• Experience with funnel optimization, activation loops, and onboarding UX
• Helicopter pilot mentality - you can easily switch from high level strategy and planning to UI polish and data model details
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
• Fintech and/or previous founder experience a plus
• Strong alignment with our leadership principles: in particular Go and See, and Are Right, a Lot.

About the team

The team owns four key product areas within HRIS: Time Off (Leave Management), Time & Attendance, and Scheduling. Time Off automates accrual calculations, simplifies request approvals, and provides real-time visibility into team schedules while ensuring compliance with an ever expanding set of global and location regulations. Time & Attendance powers the core of the hourly workforce experience - from time, break, and job code tracking to smart timesheet approvals and complex and compliant pay calculations - serving as the mission-critical system that ensures workers are paid accurately and freeing managers from manual work. Scheduling is the engine that unlocks next-level hourly workforce management, enabling confident staffing that allows for easy and fast schedule creation based on demand, customizable rules, real-time visibility into employee data, and compliance safeguards.

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.
