About Rippling

Rippling gives businesses one place to run HR, IT, and Finance. It brings together all of the workforce systems that are normally scattered across a company, like payroll, expenses, benefits, and computers. 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.

You’ll join the Spend org, which is reshaping corporate spending from millions to billions of dollars in transactions every month. The Travel team drives the future of corporate travel through integrated solutions on the Rippling Platform. As part of the Spend Suite—covering corporate cards, expense management, procurement, and bill pay—the Travel team is central to our all-in-one spend solution.

We are doubling down on our mobile experience to support employees during critical “day-of-travel” moments—like flight check-ins, itinerary changes, and on-the-go support. Our goal is to build the best travel platform for employees, finance teams, and travel managers.
