EMEA Growth Lead

Rippling gives businesses one place to run HR, IT, and Finance. It brings together all of the workforce systems that are normally scattered across a company, like payroll, expenses, benefits, and computers. For the first time ever, you can manage and automate every part of the employee lifecycle in a single system.

Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can hire a new employee anywhere in the world and set up their payroll, corporate card, computer, benefits, and even third-party apps like Slack and Microsoft 365—all within 90 seconds.

Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $1.4B+ from the world’s top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Greenoaks, and Bedrock—and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes.

We prioritize candidate safety. Please be aware that all official communication will only be sent from @Rippling.com addresses.

In this role, you'll own our inbound motion generating demo bookings for our EMEA Sales teams, including non-English speaking countries like Spain, France, and Germany. You will manage a multi-million dollar annual budget and own the growth strategy across channels such as Paid Social, SEM, SEO, Affiliate, and Email. 

You should be ARR-obsessed and constantly thinking of A/B tests that will drive incremental revenue and ensure there are no leaks in the funnel. We’re looking for someone who goes beyond channel execution and finds pockets of gold in the database and regularly thinks up new automations that double the team’s output.

This is a Senior, team lead position. You should have people management experience and a proven ability to build a high performing team. We’re looking for someone who can motivate people to do the best work of their careers, whether they’re a direct report or a cross functional collaborator. 

You'll have a very close partnership with the regional Sales teams as well as our centralised marketing, regional demand generation, operations, and analytics teams (among others) in order to efficiently drive revenue. You should have demonstrated experience of successful Sales and Marketing alignment across multiple markets and languages.
