Rippling
About The Role
As the Product Design Lead focused on Foundations, you’ll shape the cross‑product surfaces and primitives that define Rippling’s core experience. From the Home dashboard to navigation, your work will set the standard for how customers move through and make sense of Rippling, and directly influence clarity, speed, and confidence across the suite. What You Will Do
Design the end‑to‑end foundations of Rippling’s core experience—Home, navigation, flow integrations—crafting systems that are fast, scalable, and radically simple. Get close to customers, understand how they actually work across products, spot where cross‑product workflows break, and turn those insights into strategic design priorities that drive real business impact. Anticipate future needs and edge cases, designing solutions that scale as we expand into new markets and increasingly complex global scenarios. Develop and evolve a shared information architecture, aligning taxonomy, nomenclature, and navigation across subsystems. Deeply understand each of Rippling’s subsystems and connect the dots—leading cogent design updates that steer our experience strategy. Drive organizational alignment by communicating crisp narratives and frameworks; move challenging decisions through the organization to affect change. Introduce and normalize modern SaaS conventions and next‑gen, agentic workflows that elevate quality and accelerate the pace of innovation. What You Will Need
8+ years of end‑to‑end product design experience, with a portfolio of complex, high‑impact products delivered from initial concept through iteration and delivery. Proven ability to think in systems and simplify complexity, with experience designing in challenging domains or compliance‑heavy environments. Exceptional visual and interaction craft with impeccable taste—the ability to produce clear, detailed specifications and contribute to the development of our design system. Excellent communication and storytelling skills—an excellent communicator who is relentless in driving innovation and alignment across partners and levels. Relentless customer focus, backed by a habit of digging into real behavior, identifying pain points, and designing solutions that solve meaningful problems. A bias toward action, especially in ambiguous or fast‑moving environments—you have a track record of generating many ideas, iterating quickly, unblocking dependencies, and owning timelines without daily oversight. A portfolio where the execution quality speaks for itself—your shipped work sets the bar for craft, clarity, and impact. A proven track record of moving challenging decisions through an organization to affect change, influencing cross‑functionally and at multiple levels. The pay range for this role is: $165,000 – $288,750 USD per year (US Tier 1). Rippling is an equal‑opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce and do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, veteran or military status, or any other legally protected characteristics.
