People Services Lead

Employment Hero is on a mission to make employment easier and more valuable for everyone. We've developed an Employment Operating System, an all-in-one solution that combines hiring, HR, payroll, and benefits. Since our start in 2014, we've grown to a $2 billion valuation and now operate in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, the UK, and Canada. We currently serve over 300,000 businesses and more than 2 million employees.

The EH Way

At Employment Hero, we're proud of our unique DNA, which we call The EH Way.

1. We are Mission First – everything we do (from what we work on, to how we allocate capital and where we focus) is driven by our Mission.
2. We are Remote First – we champion a remote environment with a preference for asynchronous communication and a high degree of autonomy.
3. We are AI First – we are committed to using AI to accelerate our mission; AI is not just a tool, it's a fundamental part of how we operate, innovate, and scale.
4. We are Apolitical – we do not take a position on political or social topics, unless it relates to our Mission.
5. We Live by Our Values – we role model our values 100% of the time.
6. We Expect High Performance – we set a high standard and we're not satisfied with being average.
