About the Role
As Product Design Lead for Finance, you will set the vision for Rippling's Spend platform and drive it from concept to shipped reality. You will lead design for surfaces like cards, expenses, bill pay, procurement, travel, and reporting, creating experiences that feel effortless for employees and powerful enough for global finance teams. You will set a high bar for craft and usability, build deep trust with Product and Engineering through strong execution, and define patterns that scale from a one-person startup to a 10,000-person company.
Responsibilities
- Help define the long-term vision for Rippling’s Spend Management Platform, bringing together products like Cards, Travel, Expenses, and Bill Pay into a cohesive hub for global finance.
- Partner with Research to deeply understand complex finance workflows, then translate that complexity into simple, cross-product experiences that set Rippling apart.
- Design for both employees and finance leaders, delivering flows that feel effortless day to day while providing the control, compliance, and visibility required at scale.
- Champion a consumer-grade quality bar, elevating craft across the Finance Suite and mentoring designers in systems thinking, interaction design, and visual polish.
- Collaborate tightly with Product and Engineering to make high-velocity decisions, ship with urgency, and advocate relentlessly for customers at every step.
Requirements
- 7-8+ years of end-to-end product design experience shipping complex, high-impact products from concept to launch, then iterating based on what you learn.
- A portfolio that shows you can turn messy, ambiguous problems into simple, intuitive workflows, especially in complex domains.
- Strong interaction and visual design craft, with the ability to produce polished work across edge cases and states, and communicate clear, build-ready specs.
- Relentless customer focus, backed by a habit of digging into real behavior, identifying pain points, and designing solutions that solve meaningful problems.
- Excellent communication and storytelling, from crisp async write-ups to persuasive presentations that drive alignment and decisions.
- A track record of working effectively with Product and Engineering, moving quickly while holding a high quality bar.
- Comfort operating in fast-moving environments, juggling multiple work-streams, unblocking dependencies, and owning timelines with minimal oversight.

About the Company
- Spend is one of the most complex systems inside a company, and one of the most visible. Employees need to book travel, pay vendors, and get reimbursed without friction. Finance teams need control, compliance, and clean books without becoming the “no” department. Most solutions make you choose: powerful but painful, or simple but limited.
- Rippling is building a Spend Management Platform that refuses that tradeoff. Instead of stitching together corporate cards, bill pay, expenses, procurement, travel, and global spend across multiple tools, we’re designing it as one connected experience. It’s natively linked to Rippling’s HR and payroll system, so it already knows your org, roles, and policies. Policies apply automatically, approvals route instantly, and reconciliation and reporting stay accurate because every transaction is tied to real people, departments, and budgets. For admins, it’s real-time control without the manual chase. For employees, it just works.
