We are seeking a General Manager to lead the Employer of Record (EOR) business end‑to‑end. This leader will own the strategy, growth trajectory, and operational excellence of our largest business unit, ensuring it continues to scale globally while expanding into new verticals and industries.

EOR sits at the center of Deel’s mission: enabling companies to build global teams without friction. The business is already operating at a significant scale and continues to grow rapidly. This role will own the EOR P&L and growth strategy, with a mandate to accelerate expansion while evolving the product and operational model to support increasingly complex global use cases.

A key focus will be verticalizing the people offering, tailoring EOR solutions for industries with unique regulatory, operational, and workforce requirements—such as shipping, mining, entertainment, and other complex global sectors.

The General Manager will work cross‑functionally across product, engineering, legal, operations, finance, and go‑to‑market teams to drive growth, product innovation, and operational scalability.

This is a hands‑on leadership role for a business builder who can operate at both the strategic and operational levels—setting direction while rolling up their sleeves to drive execution.

• Act as the face of EOR internally and externally with key stakeholders.

• 15+ years experience in GM, operations, or workforce platforms.
• Proven track record owning and scaling large P&L businesses in high‑growth environments.
• Experience in global, regulated, and operationally complex businesses.
• Ability to lead large, matrixed organizations and influence without authority.
• Strategic + hands‑on operator with strong execution rigor.
• Excellent problem‑solving, prioritization, and decision‑making skills.

• Salary ranges quoted in USD; offer will be localized to your country.
• Pay based on objective, job‑related criteria including experience, skills, and location.
• No salary‑history requests.
• Stock grant opportunities depending on role, employment status, and location.
• Additional perks and benefits based on employment status and country.
• Remote work flexibility and optional WeWork access.
