Product Lead, Finance Accounting

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.

We’re looking for a Product Lead to lead Finance Accounting at Rippling. You will own the accountant experience across Rippling’s Finance products and help define the future of accounting automation on top of Rippling’s platform.

Your mandate spans two important problems. First, you will build the accounting infrastructure, workflows, and ERP integrations required for Rippling to serve complex enterprise Finance customers. Second, you will help create a new generation of AI-powered accounting workflows that automate manual close work — from validating transaction coding and configuration readiness, to recovering failed syncs, reconciling activity, and preparing adjustments.

• →Set the product strategy and roadmap for Finance Accounting, with a clear point of view on how Rippling should help finance teams translate their operational activity in Rippling into accurate accounting outcomes.
• →Build the core accounting platform behind Rippling’s Finance products, including the workflows customers use to configure rules, map data, post to their ERP, and resolve issues when syncs fail.
• →Design product experiences that give accountants confidence in the accuracy, completeness, and auditability of their books.
• →Lead the development of AI-assisted accounting workflows that help customers validate transactions, identify exceptions, recover from failures, and reduce manual close work.
• →Partner deeply with engineering and design to turn complex accounting and integration problems into intuitive, reliable product experiences.
• →Spend time with customers, implementation teams, support, accounting experts, and ERP partners to understand where accounting workflows break down and where the product can remove friction.
• →Define how Rippling should support enterprise customers and their unique needs, like multi-entity setups, tax and currency needs, and high expectations for controls and reporting.
  
  

• →7+ years of product management experience, ideally working on complex B2B software.
• →Strong product judgment and the ability to turn ambiguous problems into a clear strategy.
• →Experience building technically complex products that depend on integrations, data models, or platform infrastructure.
• →A strong understanding of accounting workflows and the financial systems businesses use to run them, or the ability to quickly develop fluency in them.
• →The ability to work closely with engineers on complex system and data problems.
• →Strong customer instincts and a willingness to learn detailed accounting workflows firsthand.
• →High ownership. You should be comfortable setting direction and making decisions in a fast-moving environment.
• →Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
