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, you will be responsible for gathering, prioritizing, and executing on country-specific requirements for the next set of countries Rippling will launch across its HRIS, employer of record (EOR), and benefits administration products. Success for you means launching and successfully servicing a country end-to-end across the platform. You will work closely with your design and engineering teams to build these products, with legal and compliance to understand our country-specific requirements, with business development and operations to ensure we have the right partnerships, and with other experts to ensure that we build and operate the best and most efficient EOR and benefits administration system in these countries. You’ll work with sales, implementation, enablement, and support to launch and continuously improve the product.
