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—so that for the first time, companies can manage and automate every
part of the employee lifecycle in a single system.
As a Product Design Lead, you will take ownership of a critical product vertical, driving it from
0-1 concept to shipped reality. You will be responsible for transforming deep administrative
complexity into elegant, simple workflows that feel effortless for employees while providing total
control for admins. You won’t just move pixels; you will define long-term strategy, partner with
world-class engineers and PMs, and set the bar for craft and systems thinking across the entire
Rippling ecosystem.

What You Will Need
We are currently hiring Design Leads across several key pillars of the Rippling platform:
Focus: Transforming the $5T global benefits industry.
The Mission: Build the first modern multi-sided marketplace connecting brokers, employers, and employees. You will design the "Benefits Platform" (eligibility engines and payments) and a growing marketplace of 100+ partners, ensuring that critical life decisions (like health insurance and retirement) are clear and stress-free.
Focus: Managing how money moves through modern companies.
The Mission: Design a unified Spend platform that integrates corporate cards, bill pay, expenses, and travel. You will create a "one-connected-experience" that links natively to HR and Payroll data, allowing for automatic policy enforcement and instant reconciliation that scales from tiny startups to 10,000-person enterprises.
Focus: The connective tissue of the Rippling ecosystem.
The Mission: Design the underlying systems and primitives—permissions models, data visualizations, and shared surfaces like the Home screen—that make the product feel coherent. You will solve for "cross-cutting" challenges, ensuring that disparate products feel like one unified system through scalable, extensible frameworks.
