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 $1.4B+ 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. We prioritize candidate safety. Please be aware that all official communication will only be sent from @Rippling.com addresses.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Rippling's Global product suite - spanning Global HRIS, Payroll, BenAdmin, Employer of Record, and Contractors - is both the largest and one of the fastest growing product suites. The pandemic changed hiring forever, and companies are looking for all-in-one solutions to manage their global workforces. As our Content Marketing Manager, Global Products, you’ll be the lead storyteller for our Global product. You’ll deeply research Global HR leaders to find the hooks they care about and turn those insights into different types of content, from deep-dive whitepapers to viral social-first videos. Your creed: deliver HR leaders content they crave and show how Rippling can help them scale across borders. This role is for someone who loves the craft and the strategy: you’re not just strategizing and planning, you’re interviewing customers, writing the scripts, penning research papers, and stepping in front of the camera. Expect to move fast, run tight experiments, scale what works, and grow your career! Because Rippling’s Global suite shares its addressable market with our Core HR products, this role is uniquely collaborative. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with our Core HR marketing team to plug into existing growth engines while spinning up new “Global-first” content that creates net-new opportunities and accelerates cross-sell. This role is based in our San Francisco office.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Become an expert on Global HR leaders: Immerse yourself in this community, both online and IRL, to uncover insights, pain points, and hooks.
- Turn complex topics into compelling stories: Take dry, complex topics (like global compliance) and transform them into magnetic hooks and fun, compelling stories that people actually want to consume.
- Create and pen “classic” B2B tentpole assets: Write and produce high-quality reports, whitepapers, and launch assets.
- Scale video: Rapidly ship and test new formats like a video series, podcasts, social-first content, and webinars.
- Own the Global content roadmap: Set the narrative, strategy, and content roadmap that drives awareness and pipeline.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
- Experimental mindset + scrappy execution: You move fast and prototype often. You know the B2B playbook, and you’re also willing to push beyond it.
- Exceptional writing and storytelling: You are a clear writer who can craft everything from an engaging blog post to a whitepaper covering a complex topic.
- A creator’s track record: Proven success building an audience whether via a YouTube channel, a viral newsletter, or a significant social following.
- A "spike" in video: Deep experience storyboarding, scripting, and delivering on-camera content. You know how to make a B2B video feel premium and engaging.
- Metric obsession: You have a "nose" for what will go viral, but you back it up by obsessing over data and constantly iterating to improve performance.
- A distinctive voice: You bring energy, clarity, and taste and know how to push beyond standard B2B without losing credibility.
- Even if you don’t meet all of these requirements, we still encourage you to apply.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS ROLE
- Own the full motion: You aren’t a cog in a big machine. You will own the end-to-end content motion (from strategy to execution) for one of Rippling’s biggest and most important bets.
- The "Pod" advantage: You’ll be part of a dedicated marketing pod ready to promote your work across every channel. You create the sparks, they provide the fuel!
- A culture of experimentation: We love bold, provocative ideas and give you the license to try things never done in B2B.

Content Marketing Manager Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a content marketing manager in California?
Most content marketing managers in California start with a bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, English, or journalism, then build experience through coordinator or specialist roles. California does not require a state license for this role. Employers in the Bay Area and Los Angeles typically look for candidates who have managed an editorial calendar, owned an SEO or social channel, and can show measurable results, so a strong portfolio carries more weight than any single credential.
How much do content marketing managers make in California?
Content marketing managers in California earn a median of about $193,620 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $104,370 for the lowest 10% to over $326,400 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire content marketing managers in California?
Employers hiring content marketing managers in California right now include Apple, TikTok, and NVIDIA, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. California's dense concentration of technology companies, entertainment studios, and direct-to-consumer brands means the hiring pool is broader here than in most other states.
Which California cities have the most content marketing manager jobs?
San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Jose have the most content marketing manager openings in California. The Bay Area's volume is driven by enterprise software and cloud companies headquartered there, while Los Angeles draws on its entertainment, media, and e-commerce industries, and San Diego's growth reflects its expanding biotech and cybersecurity sectors.
Are there remote content marketing manager jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 26% of content marketing manager openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how naturally the work fits distributed teams. The parts of the role most commonly done fully remotely are content writing, SEO strategy, and editorial planning, while brand campaigns and executive stakeholder work more often require some in-office presence.
How can I get hired as a content marketing manager in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is landing a content coordinator or marketing associate role at a mid-size California tech or e-commerce company, then moving up. Large California employers like Salesforce and Adobe run structured marketing rotational programs for recent graduates. Building a portfolio through freelance work, a company blog, or a documented personal SEO project gives candidates a tangible edge and is often weighted more heavily than years of tenure in California hiring conversations.
Where can I find and apply to content marketing manager jobs in California?
You can find and apply to content marketing manager jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current California openings updated regularly. Find the roles that fit your experience and location preference and apply directly from the listing.
