About the Role

Rippling is looking to hire a Senior Associate to be based out of the New York or San Francisco offices. This role will work closely with the Strategic Finance leads in central FP&A, go-to-market, and business unit partnership in R&D and CX. The key responsibilities of the role will include a combination of: maintaining the company wide long-range planning model, conducting industry research to drive strategic insights, and supporting any fundraising / M&A initiatives.

This role will be highly visible with senior leadership in business units across the company. The ideal candidate will have relevant experience in Finance at another high-growth technology company. Prior background in banking, consulting, or investing is preferred, though not required.

What You’ll Do

• Manage our long-range planning model and assess key levers that will generate the most impact to our financial profile
• Maintain an active pulse of industry peers (HCM and other best-in-class SaaS companies) and share strategic insights with leaders in the business
• Evaluate future Rippling opportunities (i.e. product areas, GTM channels etc.) by conducting marketing sizing / benchmarking, desktop research and expert calls
• Conduct internal deep dive data analysis into important trends that influence our financial forecast. Use the results of these analyses to update the LRP, and partner with product and go-to-market teams to assess any implications for their strategies
• Support any fundraising efforts and M&A initiatives

Requirements

• 4+ years of finance experience. Previous career experience in banking, consulting, or investing is preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or a related field.
• Strong analytical skills. This includes the ability to create financial models from scratch and an interest in conducting deep dive analysis to better understand key business drivers.
• Self-starter. This individual should feel comfortable operating in a high growth environment, with a desire to take ownership of projects and drive them to completion with limited guidance.
• Ability to collaborate with teams across the company. Strong oral and written communication skills, and the ability to work effectively with non-financial audiences.
• Experience with Salesforce and SQL are a plus but are not required.
