More about this role

Rippling’s payments platform moves billions of dollars across countries, currencies, bank accounts, and payment rails to pay millions of workers each week. Our licensed global payments infrastructure gives Rippling’s financial products flexible and reliable ways to get people and businesses paid correctly and on time.

We are looking for a Product Lead to own our payments experience and orchestration platform. You will decide how money moves, where it moves, and how fast it moves at Rippling. Your scope includes payment methods, funding and payout options, flows of funds, routing, new countries and rails, payment speed, and the economics of our payments products.

You will also define what agentic payments look like at Rippling. You will enable AI to understand payment configuration and state, anticipate issues, evaluate routing options, explain tradeoffs, and safely take action to keep money moving.

This is a high-ownership role for a product leader who can move fluidly between customer experience and technical architecture, turning complex tradeoffs across speed, reliability, risk, regulation, and economics into simple products and durable platform abstractions.
