Job description

Overview

About Ramp Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends. We automate how over $200B in annualized spend flows in and out of 70,000+ companies: authorizing payments, flagging risk, categorizing spend, and closing books. The problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving. We hire people with high agency and high urgency. We look for slope over intercept. We care less about where you trained and more about what you’ve built. At Ramp, everyone is a builder who owns problems end to end and makes consequential decisions that shape the outcome. The median Ramp customer saves 5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year – far in excess of businesses operating without Ramp. We believe every ambitious company deserves the same. If you want to build systems that directly shape how companies move and manage billions, Ramp is the place to do it.

What You Need

• 8–10 years of progressive experience in equity administration, ideally at least 2 years in a manager-level or lead role.
• Deep expertise in equity management platforms (Shareworks preferred) and familiarity with GAAP accounting for equity compensation.
• Strong understanding of U.S. tax and securities regulations related to equity compensation (including 409A, taxation on equity).
• High attention to detail, analytical rigor, and process orientation.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across Finance, Legal, and People teams.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience in a pre-IPO or hyper-growth tech company environment.
• Experience with Shareworks and Workday
