About the role
As the design lead for Growth, you'll shape how customers adopt AI across Rippling and come to depend on it. Thousands of companies already run HR, IT, and Finance on Rippling. The job is getting the admins and employees inside them to trust AI with real work. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of end-to-end product design experience shipping complex, high-impact products from concept to launch
- A portfolio of shipped work that measurably changed behavior, such as activation, adoption, retention, or conversion. Show us the experiments that lost, too, and what you did next
- Experience setting growth direction for a whole product area and getting teams you don't manage to follow it
- Hands-on growth design across onboarding, activation, and monetization. B2B or AI products are a plus, especially where the buyer and the daily user are different people
- Comfort with funnels, cohorts, and experiment design, and the judgment to spot a result that's misleading
- Daily use of LLMs and AI prototyping tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar), whether or not you write production code
More about this role

Rippling is in a unique position to change how companies run with AI because it already holds so much of the company: who works there, what they're paid, which laptops and apps they use, and who approves what. AI with that context can take on actual operational work. Customers still have to choose to use it, though, and the growth patterns you design are how that happens. An admin tries something small, sees it work on their own company's data, and gives Rippling AI a bigger job next time. You will help customers see Rippling's idea of the future of work.
Designers at Rippling are product builders. You'll work with PMs, engineers, and data scientists to define problems and ship experiences that change customer behavior. The work here starts in LLMs to clarify thinking, moves into tools like Cursor and Claude Code for refinement, then ships to customers. You'll stay involved through testing and launch, and own the outcome...
