About the role

Product Design Lead on the HRIS team at Rippling, shaping and scaling the core HR platform with AI-first experiences across hiring, organizational data management, compliance, and more.

Responsibilities

  • Help define long-term and AI-first strategies within our HRIS portfolio.
  • Design new 0-1 experiences, improve and expand existing experiences, and execute on tactical deliverables.
  • Design for both employees and HR leaders, delivering flows that feel effortless day to day while providing the control, compliance, and visibility required at scale.
  • Collaborate tightly with Product and Engineering to make high-velocity decisions, ship with urgency, and advocate relentlessly for customers at every step.
  • Partner closely with our Product Research team, collaborate and support research projects, and use insights in your design work.
  • Champion a consumer-grade quality bar, elevating craft across the portfolio and mentoring designers in systems thinking, interaction design, and visual polish.
  • Work closely with other designers to develop and expand our design system.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of end-to-end product design experience shipping complex, high-impact products from concept to launch, then iterating based on what you learn.
  • A portfolio that shows you can turn messy, ambiguous problems into simple, intuitive workflows, especially in complex domains.
  • Active use of LLMs (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) in your design workflow whether for research, requirements, copy, or exploration.
  • Comfort with AI-assisted prototyping tools (Cursor, Claude Code, or similar), even if you're not writing production code.
  • Strong interaction and visual design craft, with the ability to produce polished work across edge cases and states, and communicate clear, build-ready specs.
  • Relentless customer focus, backed by a habit of digging into real behavior, identifying pain points, and designing solutions that solve meaningful problems.
  • Excellent communication and storytelling, from crisp async write-ups to persuasive presentations that drive alignment and decisions.
  • A track record of working effectively with Product and Engineering, moving quickly while holding a high quality bar.
  • Comfort operating in fast-moving environments, juggling multiple work-streams, unblocking dependencies, and owning timelines with minimal oversight.
