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 $1.4B+ 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.

About the role

Scaling to $1B ARR and beyond means we need to build a demand generation engine that drives growth across multiple product lines, buyer segments, and personas - even accelerating growth from prospects and customers alike, whether domestically or abroad. That’s where you come in.

As the person leading our paid social and programmatic marketing, you’ll build, coach, and lead a team of world class marketers. Your team will be responsible for generating high quality leads and building pipeline via multiple digital paid channels and executing strategies to launch and measure new ones.

This role is highly cross-functional. You’ll partner closely with our creative, content, growth, analytics, marketing operations, and GTM teams to help Rippling win.

The Performance Marketing team sits within the growth marketing org, which has been a key driver in Rippling’s trajectory. Mamoon Hamid, a partner at Kleiner Perkins, recently said that “Rippling’s growth is in the 1% of the 1%. At their scale, they are one of the fastest growing companies in the world.” As a senior marketing leader, you’ll mature our growth engine while pushing the boundaries in B2B marketing.

Success in role means diving in and landing quick wins, then identifying big bets to accelerate revenue generation.
