Description
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.

The EH Way

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

  • 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.

This role

As our PR, Comms, & Content Lead, UK, you’ll work with the Head of Marketing, UK and be instrumental in establishing Employment Hero as the leading voice on employment in the UK – helping us move from SaaS to Employment as a Service (EMPASS) and accelerating us toward our BHAG.

  • Using our first-party employment data to power original, insight-driven storytelling
  • Overseeing content strategy across owned and earned channels (including newsroom collaboration) to support SEO, funnel progression, and reputation
  • Reporting on performance, trends, and ROI to share progress and optimise efforts
  • Owning execution and ensuring the team delivers against plans effectively and at pace

  • A strategic thinker with excellent organisational and analytical skills
  • Familiarity with using AI tools to scale content production and efficiency
  • A clear understanding of how PR contributes to SEO through content and backlinks

What We Do

The smarter way to manage people, payroll and productivity. For small and medium businesses with big ambitions. At Employment Hero, we’re an ambitious group of people on a mission to make employment easier and more valuable for everyone. We like to stay ahead of the curve and provide our team with tools to innovate. We pride ourselves on our inclusive, innovative culture that rewards and recognises our team for great work. Since our inception in 2014, we’ve had enormous growth (we're talking 100% YoY). After taking Australia by storm, we set out to take on the rest of the world, launching internationally in New Zealand, The United Kingdom, Malaysia and Singapore – with many more to come. But our mission doesn't end there. After working with small businesses across the globe, we saw how much employees needed a tool designed to fight the rising cost of living, gain control over their finances, and make work more rewarding. Enter Swag: a world-first employment superapp that redefines the way employees work, save and get paid. Oh, and we don’t want to toot our own horn (actually yes, we do), but others think we’re pretty cool too – we’ve received many awards for reaching some seriously ambitious goals including: * Deloitte Technology Fast 50 2022, ranked #38 in Australia * Raised $181M achieving unicorn status February 2022 * LinkedIn Top 25 Startups 2021, ranked #2 in Australia * The Australian Top 100 Innovators List 2021 * Raised $140M Series E round led by Insight Partners July 2021 * Raised $45M Series D round led by Seek 2021 * Deloitte Technology Fast 50 2020, ranked #42 in Australia * LinkedIn Top 10 Startups 2020 * Raised $22M Series C Round led by Seek July 2019 * Raised $8 mill series B round led by Seek and OneVentures * Deloitte Technology Fast 50 2019, ranked #20 in Australia For more information visit: www.employmenthero.com
