Product Lead

About the role

At Rippling, AI and Growth are becoming inseparable. We’re looking for a Product Lead to define and lead Rippling’s AI and growth motions across the full customer and user lifecycle—spanning product-led growth, self-serve experiences, activation, engagement, and monetization. You’ll define Rippling’s end-to-end AI growth strategy, spanning acquisition, product-led growth, activation, habit formation, expansion, and monetization. Success will require going deep on emerging AI technologies while demonstrating exceptional taste across both product UX and marketing.

This is a highly cross-functional, high-ownership role for a senior product leader who can both set strategy and get deeply hands-on. You’ll build the foundation for how Rippling measures and drives AI usage, create campaigns and product experiences that incentivize adoption, and partner with Product, Engineering, Design, Marketing, Sales, Account Management, and executive leadership to scale what works across the company.

The right person will bring strong product taste, analytical rigor, technical curiosity, and the ability to operate with speed and ambiguity.

The Growth team is responsible for building the systems, product experiences, and motions that help customers discover more value in Rippling. The team works across the company—partnering with product teams, platform teams, marketing, sales, and account management—to turn customer insight and product usage data into scalable growth initiatives.

In this role, you’ll help define a new chapter for Growth at Rippling: building the company-wide motion for AI adoption. You’ll work from the center of the Growth team while influencing how teams across Rippling bring AI-powered experiences to customers and users. This is an opportunity to shape both the strategy and the operating model for one of Rippling’s most important growth areas.

Even if you don’t meet all of the requirements listed here, we still encourage you to apply. Skills can be used in lots of different ways and your life and professional experience may be relevant beyond what a list of requirements will capture
