For the first time ever, you can manage and automate every part of the employee lifecycle in a single system.
Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can hire a new employee anywhere in the world and set up their payroll, corporate card, computer, benefits, and even third-party apps like Slack and Microsoft 365—all within 90 seconds.
Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $1.4B+ from the world’s top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Greenoaks, and Bedrock—and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes.

About The Role
Rippling is one of the fastest-growing enterprise software companies in history, with a compound platform covering HR, IT, and Finance across 100+ countries. As our platform scales on an accelerated basis with Rippling AI and our use of AI tools internally, we see opportunities to extend our product offering and reach through M&A. In this role you will help grow the business through Corporate Development initiatives and also lead Investor Relations (IR) and share Rippling’s vision with investors.
As Head of Corporate Development & Investor Relations, you'll work directly with Rippling's leadership team including our CEO, CFO, and others on the full spectrum of projects that shape our strategic direction. You'll own strategy, deal work, and team management end-to-end — from market mapping and thesis development, to financial modeling, management engagement, term sheet negotiation, legal coordination, and post-close integration planning. This role will include oversight on deal-execution with a high analytical bar. The best candidates will be comfortable leading teams and working directly as needed to build financial models, drafting a term sheet, present a build/buy/partner recommendation to senior leadership, and manage a live diligence process. Alongside the core Corporate Development work, you'll also own Investor Relations strategy, which includes fundraise process planning and execution, secondary transactions, any updates, and long-term planning for IPO as Rippling scales well beyond $1B in annual recurring revenue now.
This role carries significant responsibility and is best suited for leaders with deal experience and investor relations work at large technology companies or high-growth startups coupled with backgrounds in private equity, investment banking or corporate operating roles. There is meaningful room to grow, measure your impact, and scale with the organization as we build world-class Corporate Development and IR teams.

#LI-Hybrid
Rippling is a workforce management system that eliminates the friction from running a business. Today, most companies struggle with everything from routine tasks, like running payroll, to cross-functional planning, like aligning on headcount. That’s because all their data related to people, processes, and systems is scattered in a hundred places.
Rippling has every application you need to run your business—from applicant tracking and payroll to IT and expenses—in one place. But unlike other systems, Rippling sits on top of a unified platform. Data flows dynamically between Rippling’s applications, giving every team a shared source of truth, the power to automate processes, and access to the insights they need. This allows your business to execute better, faster.
Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $1.2B from the world’s top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Greenoaks, and Bedrock.
