Partner with cross-functional product, support, and customer operations teams to ensure customer success and secure long-term commitments, directly influence Rippling’s product roadmap, and increase operational efficiency
Take an entrepreneurial approach to the role by being a proactive and strategic partner to customers, tailoring your approach to maximise Rippling product adoption based on each customer’s unique business operations

What you will need

3+ years of SaaS experience in account management, sales, or quota-carrying customer success

Competitive and creative drive to win over customers and think outside the box to get a deal done
Demonstrated ability to run a consultative discovery and demo meeting and run a structured sales process
Proven success building and maintaining long term commercial relationships
Highly effective communicator with good people instincts – able to build trust and work well with a diverse group inside and outside the company
