About the role

Scaling to $1B ARR and beyond means we need to build a demand generation engine that drives growth across multiple product lines, buyer segments, and personas - even accelerating growth from prospects and customers alike, whether domestically or abroad. Thats where you come in.

As our Director of Search, youll build, coach, and lead a team of world class marketers. Your team will be responsible for generating strong demand capture programs via digital paid channels and capture both high intent and longtail organic traffic. Rippling is a compound app, which allows us to offer multiple product entry points, a unique opportunity for the right person to flourish.

This role is highly cross-functional. Youll partner closely with our content, growth, analytics, marketing operations, and GTM teams to help Rippling win.

This role sits in the Acquisition team, comprising a large portion of the growth marketing org, which has been a key driver in Ripplings trajectory. Mamoon Hamid, a partner at Kleiner Perkins, recently said that Ripplings growth is in the 1% of the 1%. At their scale, they are one of the fastest growing companies in the world. As a senior marketing leader, youll mature our growth engine while pushing the boundaries in B2B marketing.

Success in role means diving in and landing quick wins, then identifying big bets to accelerate revenue generation.

What you will do

• Develop the worldwide, multi-channel strategy for capturing demand across all of Rippling's products. This will be comprised of a mix of paid and organic efforts and its up to you to balance the mix to drive maximum output.
• Manage 8-figure annual budgets efficiently, hitting or exceeding targets and continuously optimizing channel and campaign allocations to maximize revenue.
• Youll build an experimentation engine within your team that fuels scale and efficiency gains; youll optimize via test and learn.
• Establish the structure and processes to operate a centralized worldwide paid search team with stakeholders across geographies and product lines.
• Build, mentor, and manage a high caliber team of paid marketers that can consistently meet or exceed their (ambitious) targets. Effectively manage vendors to achieve our goals.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to build and iterate on campaigns. Partner closely with growth stakeholders (including GMs of each product line) to share learnings, brainstorm, and report out on results.
• Partner with analytics to create a measurement ecosystem that allows us to track leading indicators and KPIs throughout the funnel through revenue retention.
• Although this is a leadership role, like every leader at Rippling (including Parker), youll pick up IC initiatives to maximize your teams impact. Youre not afraid to roll up your sleeves and do things yourself; in fact, you relish the opportunity to go to ground zero of execution, knowing it makes you a better coach and cross-functional partner.

What you will need

• 6-12 years of experience, with at least 6 in SEM
• 3+ years managing a team of > 4 marketers
• End-to-end ownership. You execute flawlessly (directly & via others) and take your projects across the finish line. You own mistakes and learn from them
• You naturally communicate clearly, because you think clearly. You know how to modulate your communications, whether talking to an IC on your team or an executive
• Collaboration; you have a track record of delivering outsized results by partnering with others cross-functionally
• Strong analytical skills to uncover insights that you incorporate into your teams initiative roadmap
• Ability to think outside the platforms. How are your domains actually capturing incremental value for Rippling.
• Deep marketing channel expertise spanning Google SEM, SEO, GEO, affiliate marketing, and/or landing page optimization
• Agility and speed. Youll constantly try new ideas in this role. When things dont work, you pivot; when they do, you move fast to scale them. You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with shifting priorities and tight deadlines
