Senior Manager, GTM Strategic Finance

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.

This is a highly strategic role:
Rippling is a complex, fast‑moving, multi‑product company, and we need someone who can be a critical thought partner to S&M in shaping capital allocation decisions, driving execution, and navigating ambiguous business problems. Your work will directly influence how we scale an exceptional business and will have significant executive and cross‑functional visibility.

• Develop accurate financial forecasts that enable Rippling to operate at a public‑company cadence and inform executive‑ and Board‑level decisions
• Design financial decision frameworks
  —including GTM efficiency, funnel analysis, and payback—to evaluate trade‑offs and guide resource allocation
• Serve as a trusted strategic advisor to GTM and Finance executives
• Drive end‑to‑end quarterly planning by partnering closely with GTM leadership, Revenue Operations, Data Science, and other Strategic Finance teams
• Build and lead a high‑performing team
  , setting a high bar for analytical rigor, ownership, and impact while coaching and developing future leaders

What you will need

• 8+ years of experience in high‑growth technology, strategic finance, investing, and/or investment banking. Prior operating experience is strongly preferred
• Expert‑level financial modeling and analytical skills, with a demonstrated track record of owning complex operating models. Experience operating in a public company or public‑company‑ready environment is a plus

• Proficient in SQL and analytics, with the ability to synthesize large, imperfect datasets into clear insights and recommendations for senior leaders
• Proven ability to operate independently at a senior level, managing multiple large work streams, setting priorities, and driving outcomes through cross‑functional influence rather than authority
• People leadership experience or readiness, including mentoring and raising the bar for a high‑performing team
