Rippling
Head of Monetization - Platform & Data
Rippling, San Francisco, CA
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 $1.2B 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
Platform products sit at the heart of Rippling's value proposition: Allowing customers to integrate HR, IT, Finance, and third-party applications, while also enabling customers to build workflows, leverage advanced reports, and set up permissions and approvals. As our platform data stack evolves and our product suite broadens, we need to build a monetization engine that connects the dots between product architecture and pricing schemes.
That's where you come in.
As Head of Monetization - Platform & Data, you'll build bridges between our Product, Marketing, and Sales teams to successfully position and price our platform & data products as a cost-efficient alternative to "big iron" data & analytics products. You will leverage research on customer use cases to drive technical conversations with product leadership and ensure our product architecture delivers on these use cases in the most cost efficient way. In addition, you'll derive the ideal pricing structure that is both highly intuitive and clearly showcases how we deliver exceptional value to our customers across our entire platform suite. This position will start as an individual contributor track and has a long-term perspective of building & leading our platform pricing team.
You'll love this role if you bring deep SaaS pricing expertise, are comfortable discussing technical infrastructure, and have a knack for product messaging and positioning.
This position sits within our Operations organization and reports directly to our SVP of Operations. It's based in our San Francisco.
