Account Executive EOR | Founding Canadian AE

Who we are

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 our inception in 2014, we’ve scaled to a $2 billion valuation and gained a presence in 6 countries globally – Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, the UK and Canada. We now service over 300,000 businesses and more than 2 million employees.

• 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
• We are Remote First – we champion a remote environment with a preference for asynchronous communication and a high degree of autonomy
• 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
• We are Apolitical – we do not take a position on political or social topics, unless it relates to our Mission
• We Live by Our Values – we role model our values 100% of the time
• We Expect High Performance – we set a high standard and we’re not satisfied with being average.

After explosive success across APAC—where our EOR team was the highest-performing AE team in 2025—we are now officially launching our EOR offering in Canada. We are looking for a founding Canadian AE to spearhead this expansion.

As our Founding Account Executive for Canada, you won't just be closing deals; you will be the architect of our Canadian market entry. You will act as a strategic consultant to Canadian SMBs, helping them navigate the complexities of global expansion by hiring and paying talent anywhere in the world without local entities.

• Full-Cycle Pipeline Ownership:
  You will be heavily reliant on generating your own pipeline through aggressive outbound prospecting while leveraging the established Employment Hero brand.
• C‑Suite Advisory:
  Partner with Canadian Founders and HR Directors to help them scale headcounts across borders instantly and compliantly.

We are looking for a high-performing "Hunter" who thrives on autonomy and is ready to own their trajectory.

• Founder's Mentality:
  You possess the agility to work in a fast‑paced environment where you can influence the playbook for a new market.

• You are passionate about the Remote Work revolution and helping companies hire the best talent regardless of geography.
