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 $1.4B+ 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.

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

About the role

The Data Cloud Account Executive role provides an extremely unique opportunity. We are looking for talented and ambitious "hunters" who can manage high-velocity sales cycles while navigating technical and strategic processes. Working closely with Account Manager partners, you will manage the end-to-end cross-sell cycle for Rippling’s Data Cloud Solutions.

What you will do

  • Drive Revenue: Manage the full sales cycle for Rippling Solutions, from initial discovery and technical scoping to closing deals.
  • Technical Partnership: Collaborate extensively with Solutions Engineers (SEs), Professional Services, or Forward Deployed Engineers to bridge the gap between "vision" and "execution".
  • Pipeline Management: Maintain rigorous discipline in Salesforce to accurately forecast revenue and consistently achieve monthly or quarterly quotas.
  • Subject Matter Expertise: Become an expert on Rippling’s Data Cloud, understanding our positioning across the competitive landscape and serving as a product advocate.
  • Build & Improve: Exercise the courage to challenge the status quo; if you see a process that is broken, take the initiative to fix it.

What you will need

  • Closing Experience: 3+ years of closing experience, specifically selling complex SaaS platforms (preferably B2B solutions) that require integration, customization, and multi-stakeholder implementation.
  • Proven Upward Mobility: A clear track record of internal promotion (e.g., SDR to Sr. SDR to AE) at a single high-growth company. We value "builders" who stay to see the results of their work.
  • High-Velocity Discipline: Experience in a fast-paced environment.
  • Startup Fluency: Prior experience in a Series A–D startup environment where you were required to build your own playbooks rather than just follow existing ones.
