About the role
Tax is where trust is won or lost. Every calculation, filing, and payment is a promise to our customers and to the agencies they answer to. As Rippling scales into the enterprise and expands globally, the Tax Platform is mission-critical infrastructure: it must be accurate, explainable, and reliable at a level most payroll systems were never designed for.

We’re looking for a Director of Product, based in Bangalore, to lead Rippling’s Global Tax Platform team. You’ll own the end-to-end system that calculates, files, and pays taxes globally — across employees and contractors, across every country we operate in, and across federal, state, and local jurisdictions.
The scope covers:
- Calculation engine, including the multi-year effort to build Tax Foundry — an AI-enabled tax calculation and policy engine that replaces our third-party dependency.
- Filings and agency communications across all jurisdictions globally.
- Tax payments and reconciliation — accurate, on-time, and fully traceable.




- Upstream data audits and self-serve resolution so issues are caught before they block filings.
- In-product explainability so every tax value can be traced to its source inputs and rules.
- Enterprise readiness — multi-entity, multi-country, equity comp, and complex tax structures at scale.

The goal is easy: no surprises. Customers should never be caught off guard by their tax data, and the team should never be pulled into reactive firefights during filing season.

What you will do
- Own the vision and execution for the Tax Platform across calculation, filing, payments, and reconciliation globally.
- Lead a team of Senior Product Leads across calculation, filings, payments, data quality, and enterprise tax.
- Drive measurable improvements in filing accuracy, on-time payment rates, weekly data accuracy, customer self-serve, and enterprise escalations.
- Make the call on Tax Foundry while maintaining a credible third-party backup plan.
- Build opinionated, configura
