Product Lead, IT

About the role

We’re hiring a Product Lead to help build out a suite of cross-platform IT agents focused on security and threat detection. This is a senior IC role for someone who wants to own ambitious product problems, work deeply with engineering and design, and ship products that give end users true leverage through agent-driven automation.

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 make complex systems feel simple, find the highest-leverage customer problems, and turn them into products customers love.

What you will do

• Own strategy and execution for security and threat detection products within Rippling IT, from customer discovery through launch and adoption
• Work with engineering and design to define and and build agents - and the right workflows, apps, and auditability around them
• Develop deep customer empathy for IT admins, security teams, CIOs, and the employees who rely on IT systems every day
• Develop a clear point of view on how IT admins across segments need to adapt their security posture and tooling in the context of AI

What you will need

• Deep product experience building complex products
• Strong product judgment and taste: you can simplify complex workflows without losing the power customers need.
• Technical depth and curiosity, with the ability to reason through systems, edge cases, platform dependencies, and tradeoffs with engineering.
• High clock speed, strong ownership, and a bias toward action.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, especially when aligning teams around ambiguous problems or difficult prioritization calls.
