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

An open call to people obsessed with AI

This isn’t your typical job ad, and this isn’t a typical role.

We’re building a small, high-impact group inside Employment Hero focused on one thing - using AI to fundamentally change how a business operates at scale.

If you’re already deep in AI (building, experimenting, automating) this is your chance to apply that thinking across an entire company.

You’ll initially join our AI Enablement team to build what scales tomorrow.with all things AI, rolling out initiatives for our Sales, CX, Marketing, Legal, Finance, and Operations functions.

In practice, that means

• Finding high-friction, high-impact problems across the business
• Building AI-driven solutions that actually change how work gets done
• Embedding what you build, then moving on to the next challenge

No area is off-limits. For example you could be working across implementation & onboarding, sales development, finance operations, HR & people operations, and more.

This isn’t a fixed role - it’s more like a pathway through the business.

We’ll give you

• Access to best-in-class AI tooling (Claude, Gemini, Relevance, and more)
• The freedom to bring in whatever tools you need
• Real, complex problems that will 10x our business potential (not just small automations that save a few minutes)
• A team and leadership group genuinely committed to doing this properly

Who you are

There’s no single background that fits this. What matters is how you think and what you build.

You might be in ops. You might have come from sales, marketing, finance, or something completely different. As long as you're obsessed with all things AI, we're open.

What really matters is

• You’re hands-on with AI You’re not just talking about it - you’re building, coding, automating. You have real outputs.
• You think from first principles You question how things work and redesign them from the ground up.
• You care about impact You connect what you build to real outcomes - efficiency, growth, scale.
• You’re a builder You make things. Quickly. And you iterate.
• You’re curious (and a bit relentless) You go deeper than most and you stick with problems until they’re solved.

Think of this as a high-calibre internal program for people who want to work across an entire business, not sit inside one function.

You’ll get broad exposure, solve meaningful problems, and over time, find where you can have the biggest impact.

The interview process - what to expect after you apply

• Screening call with our talent team
• Case study submission & review with our AI Enablement Lead
• Stakeholder interview with ELT
• Final interview with a live AI exercise

What we can offer

• You will work remotely, with the flexibility to own your time and impact
• You will access cutting-edge tools to amplify your work, knowledge and outputs
• You’ll surround yourself with ambitious, outcome-driven colleagues who challenge you to do the best work of your life
