About Employment Hero

Employment Hero is on a mission to make employment easier and more valuable for everyone. Our Employment Operating System brings hiring, HR, payroll and benefits into an all-in-one solution. Since inception in 2014, we've scaled to a $2 billion valuation with presence in 6 countries globally - Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, the UK and Canada. We service over 300,000 businesses and more than 2 million employees.

The EH Way

• Mission First - everything we do is driven by our Mission
• Remote First - we champion a remote environment with a preference for asynchronous communication and high autonomy
• AI First - we are committed to using AI to accelerate our mission
• Apolitical - we do not take a position on political or social topics, unless it relates to our Mission
• Live by Our Values - we role model our values 100% of the time
• Expect High Performance - we set a high standard and we're not satisfied with being average
