Senior Copywriter, IT
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 $1.2B 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.
About The Role
What is Rippling? Any company that launches 20+ products in 6 years defies easy categorization. Each of our products has taken the market by storm, but they’ve been missing crucial cavalry: storytelling.
That’s where you come in. You are a full-stack storyteller. You are as comfortable talking strategy as you are brainstorming visual treatment. And while you can write pithy headlines with the best of them, your copy always proceeds from a deep understanding of your audience. You are genuinely excited to learn about a complex software product.
In this role, you’ll primarily collaborate with Rippling’s Go-to-Market team (GTM) on translating positioning & messaging into copy for new launches and refreshing copy around core product areas. Your deliverables will include everything from webpages to emails, video scripts to blogs, and datasheets to brochures. You’ll also support a brand team of 25+ creatives in bringing ads, events, and more, to life.
About The Team
Rippling’s Brand Studio is a group of 25+ designers, writers, and project managers who are responsible for telling Rippling’s story. They partner with teams across the company to guarantee that every interaction the outside world has with Rippling is a meaningful, memorable experience.
Within Brand Studio, the Copywriting team translates Rippling’s story into the written word. They own short-form copy across web, campaigns, emails, events, and more, working closely with the Go-to-Market team to support product launches. They ensure Rippling’s copy is always clear, compelling, and ownable.
