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 $1.2B 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.

Rippling sells dozens of products that serve HR, Finance, and IT buyers, and launches 2-5 net new products per quarter. The team you’ll lead is responsible for equipping our sales team to sell each new product and to maintain mastery of our existing product suites. You’ll collaborate with product, marketing, and sales leaders to: a) prioritize sales needs and tailor product training to various sales segments, b) refine our GTM processes to optimize our various product launches c) create custom enablement programs for our product overlay and SC teams and d) build, coach and develop, a high performing team to deliver the best quality enablement to our account executives and account managers.
Rippling’s compound-product strategy is a core value proposition to our customers, and as we continue to grow the footprint of our product, our growing sales force’s ability to successfully sell across a growing product suite is a key driver of our success in 2024 and beyond.
You’ll love this role if you’re excited by the challenge of developing the system for hundreds of sales people to effectively sell dozens of products, and making a significant impact on revenue

  • Self-starter - you have a bias towards action and are able to manage multiple, competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
