The product team owns Rippling’s product direction, defining what to build in order to solve customer problems in a way that allows them to succeed and for our business to thrive. We do this by distilling insights from user research, product-generated data, competitive analysis, and a deep market understanding. These insights allow us to prioritize the features we work on, which we define end to end with our design and engineering counterparts, to create our roadmap. As the features on this roadmap get developed, we partner with various teams to ensure they are ready to sell, service, and support them. We iterate on these features using data and customer feedback to make sure that they fulfill and surpass the goals we had when we decided to build them.
In this role as the Product Lead for Contractors and Compliance, you will be responsible for developing and executing the end-to-end roadmap for contractor management, invoicing, and compliance products across the platform. You'll balance market expansion initiatives with usability improvements and innovative features while ensuring seamless experiences regardless of contractor type, client location, or preferred payment method. Working cross-functionally with design, engineering, legal, business development, and customer-facing teams, you'll not only build and launch new contractor products but also drive the Compliance platform that provides localized guardrails throughout the product and the Compliance 360 app that centralizes issue management. Your success will be measured by your ability to create and service comprehensive contractor solutions while enabling companies to confidently hire and employ individuals across 100+ countries with full awareness of local compliance requirements.
