Job description

About Rippling

Rippling is the first way for businesses to manage all of their HR, IT, and Finance—anywhere in the world—in one unified platform. By connecting employee data to critical business systems, Rippling eliminates the manual administrative work of running a company. We are growing rapidly and expanding our platform capabilities to support the world’s most sophisticated, enterprise-grade public companies and fast-growing organizations preparing for an IPO.

We prioritize candidate safety. Please be aware that all official communication will only be sent from @Rippling.com addresses.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Solutions Consultant specializing in Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Compliance to serve as the ultimate technical and regulatory authority for our enterprise sales, implementation, and post‑sales teams. In this highly strategic role, you will act as a trusted advisor to CFOs, Controllers, CIOs, and Chief Audit Executives. You will bridge the gap between complex regulatory mandates and Rippling’s innovative platform architecture, demonstrating exactly how our technology automates, secures, and simplifies internal controls, and building the playbooks to scale this motion.

What You Will Do

• Partner closely with Enterprise Account Executives and Solutions Consultants as the primary subject matter expert during the pre‑sales lifecycle for high‑value public company prospects and late‑stage IPO candidates.


• Partner closely with our Enterprise Implementation Managers to define and deploy our permissions/approvals configuration playbooks for public company implementations.


• Collaborate with Product Management and Engineering teams to feed market insights, regulatory shifts, and customer requirements back into Rippling's product roadmap.


• Architect and articulate Rippling’s compliance narrative, demonstrating how our unified platform satisfies IT General Controls (ITGCs), automated business process controls, and rigorous data integrity requirements.


• Guide prospects through complex evaluations regarding financial reporting frameworks, showing how Rippling maps directly to COSO frameworks, SOX 404 compliance, and PCAOB auditing standards.


• Establish deep credibility with prospective buyers and customers by speaking their language, addressing sophisticated objections around SEC reporting workflows, segregation of duties, and audit trail evidence collection.


• Build internal enablement assets, playbooks, and training modules to elevate the entire field facing team’s fluency in public company auditing standards.

Logistics, Schedule, & Compensation

Location: This is a 100 percent remote position, allowing you to work from anywhere within our approved operating regions.

Sales Alignment: This role sits within the Sales organization, specifically Solutions Consulting. Your performance, compensation, and incentive structures are tied directly to sales milestones, mirroring Rippling’s high-energy sales guidelines and performance-driven culture.

On‑Call Flexibility: Enterprise deals move quickly, and alignment with executive stakeholders often requires rapid coordination. To support high-priority revenue opportunities, you will be expected to act in an on‑call capacity, which includes joining critical customer calls or meetings during after‑hours, weekends, or holiday periods when a deal or an escalated customer is on the line.

What You Will Need

• A minimum of 5 years of experience within a public accounting or professional services firm (e.g., Big 4 or national advisory firms) specializing in SOX 404 readiness, ITGC audits, or financial internal controls.


• A minimum of 5 years of experience directly embedded within or partnering with a technology sales, solutions consulting, or pre‑sales engineering organization.


• Extensive experience advising or working directly with companies navigating the transition from private to public status (IPO readiness) as well as established public companies subject to strict SEC reporting compliance.


• Mastery of PCAOB auditing standards, internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), and public company auditing methodologies.


• Exceptional communication skills with a proven track record of delivering compelling technical presentations and commanding the room during executive-level (C‑suite) alignment meetings.


• Relevant professional certifications (e.g., CPA, CIA, CISA) are highly preferred.
