Product Lead, Payroll Platform

About the role

Rippling is building compound software: a unified system where data from across the business is connected through a single graph. Payroll sits at the center of that system and is a key reason customers choose us.

Corrections are an integral concept of the core payroll product. When customers need to change data in the past it triggers a wave of downstream events across payroll surfaces like tax filings upcoming pay runs reports and employee paystubs.

This presents problems around performance at scale accuracy and explainability. Were looking for a seasoned product leader who can see the forest from the trees set direction across teams and deliver a straightforward and performant user experience on top of a complicated technical area.

• Own roadmap and strategy Set the vision and own the roadmap for corrections including how it needs to change and scale to accommodate the ever larger customers Rippling is focused on serving. Youll champion this strategy and work with the broader Rippling organization to ensure we build scalable intuitive and high reliability products.
• Build Payroll agents build out the set of correction capabilities that we give payroll agents and how these capabilities and actions are integrated into existing interfaces.
• Build for scale Rippling serves both the smallest startups and the largest enterprises. Youll need to partner closely with design and engineering to figure out how to scale our product capabilities globally and to suit the scale of large enterprises.
• Build the core user experience As the product expands globally and to larger customers we need to consider performance at scale as well as maintaining a simple user experience. Youll need to appreciate the complexity and deliver intuitive and simplified experiences to customers.
• Stay close to customers Work directly with customers to deeply understand operational pain points related to corrections to identify high impact opportunities.
