## Description

We're hiring a Director of Product to help lead Rippling's IT business: device management, identity & access management, AI governance, ITSM, automated compliance, and inventory management. You'll own strategy and execution across a broad product surface, hire and develop exceptional PMs, and partner directly with engineering, design, sales, marketing, and customer-facing teams to build products that define the next generation of IT.

The world of IT has changed. Employees now work across a sprawling set of devices, apps, permissions, data, AI tools, and automated agents. The old IT stack - MDM, identity, ticketing, inventory, compliance, and access governance as separate systems - creates fragmentation exactly where companies need control.

Rippling IT is the IT infrastructure for the AI era: one platform that unifies identity, devices, inventory, support, AI governance, and compliance on a single data graph, so policy is set once and enforced everywhere. This is one of Rippling's most strategic and fastest-growing businesses, and we're looking for a product leader who can scale both the product and the team behind it.

What you will do

 * Own product strategy and execution for major parts of Rippling's IT suite across device management, identity & access management, AI governance, ITSM, automated compliance, and inventory management
 * Hire, develop, and lead a high-performing team of product managers, raising the bar for product judgment, customer empathy, velocity, and craft
 * Define the next generation of IT products for a world shaped by AI, automation, distributed work, and increasing security and compliance expectations
 * Partner deeply with engineering and design to build products that solve complex customer problems with simple, powerful workflows
 * Work closely with GTM teams to understand customer needs, sharpen positioning, drive adoption, and scale the business
 * Be a thought partner to the IT GM and senior leadership on product strategy, org design, sequencing, and long-term platform bets
 * Develop a clear point of view on how AI will change IT, security, governance, and the way companies manage their workforce systems
