In this role, you will partner closely with our HR Team, recruiting function, and various product and business teams to shape employment and HR compliance for Rippling's rapidly expanding global workforce (~6000 employees). Creative, proactive, and pragmatic legal guidance will be crucial to this role, and you will have an opportunity to make real impact at scale. You will also help drive the compliance culture at Rippling and embed integrity in all of our operations as the company continues to grow. What you will do Advise on a broad range of employment law matters, including terminations, accommodations, recruiting, employee relations,

compensation and

benefits, wage and hour, and workplace investigations. Partner with our human resources and talent teams to develop scalable, forward-looking employment policies, programs, and training. Leverage AI to streamline and scale HR and legal operations, while ensuring our use of AI remains legally sound and compliant. Manage employment litigation matters across all stages with external counsel from pre-litigation (demand letters, agency charges) through formal proceedings (arbitrations, civil litigation). Design and drive internal HR audits (documentation, classification/wage and hour, I-9s, etc.). Partner with outside counsel on global employment matters to shape internal global employment and HR compliance at Rippling (employment agreements, policies, day-to-day operations, performance management, terminations). Monitor and self-study on regulatory developments relevant to the HR industry and drive compliance on new employment laws. Assist with Rippling's general corporate legal activities, including ethics, litigation and risk management, and more — there's no shortage of interesting work here. What you will need 3+ years of experience directly related to this role, including at a law firm, in-house, and/or other relevant roles. Solid grounding in employment law with experience advising on major federal and California employment laws.

Rippling is a workforce management system that eliminates the friction from running a business. Today, most companies struggle with everything from routine tasks, like running payroll, to cross-functional planning, like aligning on headcount. That’s because all their data related to people, processes, and systems is scattered in a hundred places.

Rippling has every application you need to run your business—from applicant tracking and payroll to IT and expenses—in one place. But unlike other systems, Rippling sits on top of a unified platform. Data flows dynamically between Rippling’s applications, giving every team a shared source of truth, the power to automate processes, and access to the insights they need. This allows your business to execute better, faster.

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.
