Rippling Leaders...
Rippling's Leadership Principles describe the most impactful behaviors of people who succeed here
01
Leaders at Rippling stay close to the action. Rather than managing from spreadsheets alone, they learn from real wins and real mistakes firsthand — because direct observation is often the most valuable source of insight.
02
Leaders at Rippling set bold, ambitious goals for themselves and their teams. They challenge conventional limits, think bigger, and achieve more because of it.
03
Leaders at Rippling take ownership of the problems they encounter. They don’t stand by and wait for others to act — they step in, do what’s necessary, and contribute wherever needed, even when the work is outside their usual scope or behind the scenes.
04
Leaders at Rippling recognize exceptional talent. They attract and retain high performers, push them to reach their full potential, and build teams driven by ambition, excellence, and a strong desire to win.
05
Leaders at Rippling give and receive feedback openly. They communicate directly yet respectfully, encourage honest conversations, and speak up for what they believe is best for the business, even when it’s uncomfortable.
06
Leaders at Rippling keep the organisation moving by making decisions quickly and decisively. They understand that most decisions can be adjusted along the way and don’t require endless analysis. They operate with urgency and a healthy sense of momentum.
07
Rippling leaders have good instincts, and they exercise good judgment. They get a lot right on the first try.
08
Rippling leaders are willing to be wrong. They let their ideas rise and fall on the merits, and they don't pull rank.
09
Rippling leaders pay close attention to costs. They’re resourceful in finding ways to achieve goals while avoiding waste. They treat company resources as if they were their own.

On a mission
Working with smart people is fun. Working with deeply committed people is game-changing. At Rippling, people genuinely believe in what we’re building. It’s common to see someone step up to solve a problem outside their role, or teammates go the extra mile to support one another when it matters most. And when a Rippler achieves more than they ever thought possible? That’s not luck — it’s what we do.
Committed to growth
We’ve always believed Rippling could become something big. Along the way, building something ambitious has challenged us in unexpected ways, and we’ve made our share of mistakes too. Today, growth remains at the heart of everything we do. We’ll keep building products because that’s what our mission demands. We’ll continue hiring exceptional people across time zones around the world because we want to work with the very best. And just as importantly, we’ll keep listening, learning, and improving where needed. After all, growth goes both ways.
Work-life flexible
There’s a lot to build at Rippling, so work won’t always fit neatly into a 9-to-5. But life matters too. Everyone has different priorities — family, friends, passions outside work — and we believe work should fit alongside them, not compete with them. So if taking your kids to school every morning matters to you, protect that time. (Our CEO does.) Need a reset? Take that holiday you’ve been planning. We trust our people to do right by the company — and by themselves too.
We recognize magic
At Rippling, people do far more than just show up to work. Some contributions are so impactful and hard to measure that the only way to describe them is pure magic. Each year, employees nominate their colleagues for the Work Magic Awards, a celebration of excellence, impact, and outstanding contributions across the company.
If you embody all six of Rippling's values, this one's for you. This person not only lives by our values, they inspire others to do the same.
Say hello to our standout newcomer! This award recognises a new hire who wastes no time embracing life at Rippling and making an impact from day one — no matter the circumstances.
Working quietly behind the scenes? This award recognises individuals who make a significant impact in lower-profile roles and deserve to be celebrated at Rippling
We work better together. This award recognises a team that came together — formally or informally — to overcome a major business challenge at Rippling.
