About the Role

As a Product Lead for Global HRIS, you will own Rippling’s Global Employer of Record and third-party payroll products end to end. Your portfolio will span all EOR models, Standard Global Payroll, country expansion, payroll controls, operational tooling, and the financial and compliance systems required to scale safely across more than 100 countries. You will set the strategy for how Rippling expands global coverage while building deeper, more scalable products in existing markets. Success means turning broad geographic coverage into a differentiated, scalable global payroll product.

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end product strategy and roadmap across Premium, Standard, and Partner EOR and Standard Global Payroll.
Make explicit portfolio tradeoffs between new-market expansion, competitive product depth, operational scalability, reliability, and financial risk.
Define country and SKU launch readiness across the complete customer journey—not merely engineering completion—including hiring, onboarding, payroll, funding, compliance, support, and go-to-market readiness.
Build the control and visibility customers need to confidently run global payroll, including payroll preview and editing, approvals, pay schedules, external time-and-attendance inputs, multi-region support, currency flexibility, exports, and reconciliation.
Improve the EOR employee and admin experience while driving cross-team dependencies such as work patterns, hourly and overnight-shift support, contract requirements, and country-specific hiring rules.
Build the controls that allow EOR to scale safely, including underwriting, deposits and collateral, hiring restrictions, liability visibility, partner-invoice auditability, reconciliation, and expense compliance.
Reduce operational effort and payroll cycle time through better onboarding, reporting, exception management, cross-client tooling, partner experiences, automation, and AI.
Treat payroll accuracy, system reliability, API performance, data integrity, and auditability as core product outcomes—not engineering or operations concerns.
Define and own a measurable scorecard spanning active employee adoption, revenue, launch readiness, payroll accuracy, customer review time, operational interventions, reconciliation, financial loss, and system performance.
Lead planning and execution across multiple product and engineering pods, creating clear outcomes, ownership, dependencies, and consequences when priorities shift.
Develop a deep understanding of global employers, employees, internal operators, and partners through research, product data, and direct customer engagement.
Communicate strategy, decisions, progress, and risks clearly to senior leaders and cross-functional stakeholders.

Requirements

8+ years of product management experience, including ownership of technically complex, high-stakes products at meaningful scale.
Experience in payroll, global employment, fintech, HR systems, compliance, or another regulated operational domain.
Strong product judgment and a demonstrated ability to choose between breadth and depth rather than treating every roadmap item as equally important.
Systems thinking across interconnected products, data models, workflows, APIs, operations, and third-party partners.
A track record of simplifying complex workflows while preserving correctness, compliance, and user trust.
Strong analytical and commercial judgment, including defining metrics, evaluating market opportunities, and connecting roadmap investments to adoption, revenue, operational cost, and risk.
Technical fluency sufficient to influence architecture, integration, data-quality, reliability, and performance decisions.
Cross-functional leadership across engineering, design, operations, legal, compliance, finance, sales, and support.
Experience setting direction across multiple teams or PM-owned workstreams and bringing interdependent initiatives to completion.
AI fluency in how you work and a clear perspective on where AI can safely improve customer and operational workflows.
A bias toward action, deep ownership, intellectual honesty, and relentless focus on customer outcomes.
