Spend is one of the most complex systems inside a company, and one of the most visible. Employees need to book travel, pay vendors, and get reimbursed without friction. Finance teams need control, compliance, and clean books without becoming the “no” department. Most solutions make you choose: powerful but painful, or simple but limited. Rippling is building a Spend Management Platform that refuses that tradeoff. Instead of stitching together corporate cards, bill pay, expenses, procurement, travel, and global spend across multiple tools, we’re designing it as one connected experience. It’s natively linked to Rippling’s HR and payroll system, so it already knows your org, roles, and policies. Policies apply automatically, approvals route instantly, and reconciliation and reporting stay accurate because every transaction is tied to real people, departments, and budgets. For admins, it’s real‑time control without the manual chase. For employees, it just works. As Product Design Lead for Finance, you’ll set the vision for Rippling’s Spend platform and drive it from concept to shipped reality. You’ll lead design for surfaces like cards, expenses, bill pay, procurement, travel, and reporting, creating experiences that feel effortless for employees and powerful enough for global finance teams. You’ll set a high bar for craft and usability, build deep trust with Product and Engineering through strong execution, and define patterns that scale from a one‑person startup to a 10,000‑person company.

• A portfolio that shows you can turn messy, ambiguous problems into simple, intuitive workflows, especially in complex domains.
• Strong interaction and visual design craft, with the ability to produce polished work across edge cases and states, and communicate clear, build‑ready specs.
