About the Role

As a Product Design Lead on the HRIS team, you'll shape and scale Rippling's core HR platform, helping businesses manage their workforce more efficiently globally. You will own end-to-end product experiences across high-impact areas, including core workflows and compliance. You'll help define a new generation of AI-first experiences, reimagining how work gets done through intelligent, proactive, and autonomous products. Success requires a designer who thrives in fast-paced environments, partners closely with cross-functional teams, and quickly develops deep expertise in new domains. Designers at Rippling are product builders, using AI fundamentally in their workflow.

Responsibilities

  • Help define long-term and AI-first strategies within our HRIS portfolio.
  • Design new 0-1 experiences, improve and expand existing experiences, and execute on tactical deliverables.
  • Design for both employees and HR leaders, delivering effortless day-to-day flows while providing control, compliance, and visibility at scale.
  • Collaborate tightly with Product and Engineering to make high-velocity decisions, ship with urgency, and advocate relentlessly for customers.
  • Partner closely with the Product Research team, collaborate and support research projects, and use insights in design work.
  • Champion a consumer-grade quality bar, elevating craft across the portfolio and mentoring designers in systems thinking, interaction design, and visual polish.
  • Work closely with other designers to develop and expand our design system.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of end-to-end product design experience shipping complex, high-impact products from concept to launch, then iterating based on learnings.
  • A portfolio demonstrating the ability to turn ambiguous problems into simple, intuitive workflows, especially in complex domains.
  • Active use of LLMs (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) in design workflow for research, requirements, copy, or exploration.
  • Comfort with AI-assisted prototyping tools (Cursor, Claude Code, or similar), even without writing production code.
  • Strong interaction and visual design craft, producing polished work across edge cases and states, and communicating clear, build-ready specs.
  • Relentless customer focus, with a habit of digging into real behavior, identifying pain points, and designing solutions for 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 maintaining a high quality bar.
  • Comfort operating in fast-moving environments, juggling multiple work-streams, unblocking dependencies, and owning timelines with minimal oversight.
