Job description

About the role

Scheduling is one of Rippling's highest-potential products and one of our most powerful onramps. For hourly-heavy businesses, getting scheduling right is the first thing that matters, which makes it a natural entry point into the Rippling platform and a driver of downstream expansion across payroll, compliance, and the full workforce suite.

The goal for this role is making Rippling Scheduling the go-to choice for businesses that live and die by their schedules, building out the enterprise-grade capabilities that win and retain complex customers, and turning Scheduling into one of Rippling's most important growth channels.

As Product Lead for Scheduling, you'll own the product end-to-end — core experience, roadmap strategy, enterprise expansion, and the activation and growth motion in partnership with Rippling's PLG team. You'll set the direction for where Scheduling needs to go, then drive execution against it.

What you will do

• Own the Scheduling product — core shift creation and management, open shifts, swap and cover, templates, compliance rules, mobile experience, and everything in between.
• Drive growth and activation in close partnership with Rippling's PLG team, turning Scheduling into one of the company's top lead generation channels and entry points into the broader platform.
• Build the enterprise capabilities that win complex, high-volume customers: labor budgeting, demand-based auto-scheduling, AI-assisted schedule generation, and advanced workforce planning.
• Understand the competitive landscape and customer needs to define the critical feature set for a category-defining workforce management solution.
• Work cross-functionally with engineering, design, GTM, sales, and compliance to ship high-quality product and drive customer success.
• Stay deeply attuned to market trends, customer feedback, and emerging technologies to ensure the Time Products suite remains competitive, innovative, and several steps ahead of market needs.

What you will need

• 7+ years of Product Management experience, ideally in high-growth B2B SaaS.
• Experience owning a product end-to-end. You've scaled something or meaningfully expanded its footprint.
• Strong UX and product instincts across complex surfaces — Scheduling serves both admins configuring rules and employees living inside the experience. You can hold both.
• Familiarity with PLG, activation loops, or growth-oriented product work a strong plus.
• Comfortable at multiple altitudes. You can set strategy and get into the weeds on edge cases, data models, and UI details.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication; direct, clear, drives alignment.
• Workforce management or scheduling domain experience a plus, not required.
• Strong alignment with Rippling's leadership principles, especially Go and See and Are Right, a Lot.
