Senior EOR HR Advisor, France

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.

You'll also partner with cross-functional teams, including Product, Engineering, and Compliance, to refine workflows and systems that deliver a seamless, tech-enabled HR solution. This is a high-impact opportunity to shape Rippling's growth and compliance presence in France and to become a key contributor to our expansion in the region.
