About Rippling

Rippling gives businesses one place to run HR, IT, and Finance. It brings together all of the workforce systems that are normally scattered across a company, like payroll, expenses, benefits, and computers. For the first time ever, you can manage and automate every part of the employee lifecycle in a single system.

Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can hire a new employee anywhere in the world and set up their payroll, corporate card, computer, benefits, and even third-party apps like Slack and Microsoft 365—all within 90 seconds.

Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $1.85B from the world’s top investors—including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Greenoaks, and Bedrock—and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes.

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a service provider that allows companies to legally hire and work with employees in foreign countries without establishing their own legal entity in that country. This is made possible through a legal arrangement where the EOR establishes its own legal entity in the country and hires employees on behalf of the client company. This arrangement offers a viable solution for companies that wish to expand their global reach without investing in setting up a legal entity in every country where they operate.

About the Role

As an HR Advisor, you will play a pivotal role in supporting Rippling’s Employer of Record (EOR) service across APAC. You will partner with customers to hire and manage employees across multiple countries, guiding them through the employee lifecycle—from onboarding to off-boarding—while navigating employee relations, claims, and compliance considerations.

This role is regionally scoped rather than country-specific, requiring you to quickly ramp on new countries with the support of internal training and resources. You will be expected to independently research and apply country-specific requirements using Rippling’s internal knowledge base, SOPs, and tools.

Additionally, you’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to refine workflows for hiring, onboarding, and transitions, ensuring Rippling delivers a seamless, technology-driven HR solution at scale.

This is a unique opportunity to be a key contributor to Rippling’s growth across APAC.
