About the Role
Rippling is looking to hire a Senior Associate to be based out of the New York or San Francisco offices. This role will work closely with the Strategic Finance leads in central FP&A, go-to-market, and business unit partnership in R&D and CX. The key responsibilities of the role will include a combination of: maintaining the companywide long-range planning model, conducting industry research to drive strategic insights, and supporting any fundraising / M&A initiatives. This role will be highly visible with senior leadership in business units across the company. The ideal candidate will have relevant experience in Finance at another high-growth technology company. Prior background in banking, consulting, or investing is preferred, though not required.
What You’ll Do
- Manage our long-range planning model and assess key levers that will generate the most impact to our financial profile
- Maintain an active pulse of industry peers (HCM and other best-in-class SaaS companies) and share strategic insights with leaders in the business
- Evaluate future Rippling opportunities (i.e. product areas, GTM channels etc.) by conducting marketing sizing / benchmarking, desktop research and expert calls
- Conduct internal deep dive data analysis into important trends that influence our financial forecast. Use the results of these analyses to update the LRP, and partner with product and go-to-market teams to assess any implications for their strategies
- Support any fundraising efforts and M&A initiatives
Requirements
- 4+ years of finance experience. Previous career experience in banking, consulting, or investing is preferred.
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or a related field.
- Strong analytical skills. This includes the ability to create financial models from scratch and an interest in conducting deep dive analysis to better understand key business drivers.
- Self-starter. This individual should feel comfortable operating in a high growth environment, with a desire to take ownership of projects and drive them to completion with limited guidance.
- Ability to collaborate with teams across the company. Strong oral and written communication skills, and the ability to work effectively with non-financial audiences.
- Experience with Salesforce and SQL are a plus but are not required.
