About the role
Every year, employers and employees spend over $5 trillion on benefits globally. From health insurance to saving for retirement, these benefits products guide families through some of the most important and impactful decisions in life.
Despite the significance of these products and the dollars spent, the experience is still painfully antiquated, expensive, and confusing.
Rippling is building the first modern marketplace that seamlessly connects brokers, employers, and employees with any benefit. Our platform powers discovery, purchase, and use of benefits products around the world. Our benefits vertical includes our Benefits Platform (recommendations, payments, and our benefits eligibility engine), our rapidly growing Benefits Marketplace of over 100 partners, and our natively-built Rippling Benefits Products.
We’re looking for a Director of Product who will lead the entire Benefits Marketplace in the US and dozens of other countries – as well as the Professional Employer Organization (PEO) offering. This includes new platform capabilities to win upmarket, brand new benefits product offerings, reimagining how employees navigate the complex world of benefits (including through AI-powered capabilities), making the marketplace a truly compelling experience with the right options for customers of all sizes, and rolling out in new geographies. All of this needs to be done while ensuring the vertical can scale with Rippling’s growth, leverage its unique knowledge of Employee and Organizational Data, and fulfill enrollments with absolute accuracy.
