About the Team
The Finance Accounting team builds the accounting foundation behind Rippling’s Finance products. We help customers turn the activity happening across spend, procurement, reimbursements, and other finance workflows into accurate, auditable data in their ERP.
This is a high-leverage product area where accounting infrastructure, ERP connectivity, and AI automation meet. The team’s work spans the full lifecycle of financial data: helping customers configure accounting rules, validate transactions before they post, recover when syncs fail, and ultimately close their books with more confidence and less manual work.
About the role
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 significant problems. First, you will build the accounting infrastructure, workflows, and ERP integrations required for Rippling to serve complex enterprise Finance customers. Second,

• Build the core accounting platform behind Rippling’s Finance products, including the workflows customers use to configure rules, map dat
