Role
Who you are
- If you thrive in a fast-paced, early-stage environment and are passionate about making global employment simple and compliant, this role is for you
- We're looking for a highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented individual with a strong understanding of US regulatory compliance
- Proven hands-on experience in a compliance, legal, or regulatory role, with a strong focus on US state-level licensing, registrations, and ongoing compliance obligations
- Strong, in-depth understanding of U.S. state regulations, particularly in compliance, regulatory reporting requirements, and entity management
- Experience supporting entity setup and maintenance, including continuity across multiple US jurisdictions
- Ideally, you've worked at a PEO company/competitor offering PEO services or a regulatory authority in the US that deals with PEOs (e.g., Business Licenses and Registrations departments)
- Experience with license renewals, entity management, and paralegal work is highly valued
- Exceptional attention to detail, particularly with legal documentation, license applications, and compliance records
- Risk-aware and solutions-oriented, able to proactively identify compliance gaps and implement preventive strategies
- A "getting things done" mindset – you're comfortable unblocking issues and moving forward quickly in a fast-paced environment
- Clear, proactive communicator, capable of distilling complex regulatory issues into understandable insights for internal and external stakeholders
- Comfortable in an asynchronous, remote-first environment, with proven experience working autonomously in fast-paced, high-growth teams

- This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of our US offerings from day one, translating complex regulatory frameworks into scalable, streamlined processes

- As part of that mission, this role plays a key part in enabling US-based companies to grow compliantly with confidence
- As an International Operations Senior Specialist, you will be instrumental in ensuring our US PEO and EOR operations are fully compliant
- Oversee all ongoing regulatory and compliance operations across all U.S. states, including filling licenses, business registrations, corporate filings, and reporting obligations. Partner with local legal advisors and external providers to implement legal documents and ensure regulatory readiness
- Ensure strict alignment with state-specific labor and employment regulations, coordinating updates with legal, payroll, and operational teams. Work closely with Legal, Tax, Payroll, Benefits, and Operations teams to ensure compliance across all US jurisdictions
- Manage the full lifecycle of legal entities, supporting governance tasks, renewals, and administrative maintenance in partnership with internal stakeholders and external advisors
- Manage the receipt and processing of physical mail, and handle the execution of powers of attorney for various documentation. Maintain centralized, meticulously organized records of all compliance activities, filings, and regulatory correspondence
- Ensure all necessary filings, registrations, and license renewals are completed accurately and on time. Create internal documentation, checklists, and guides to support consistency and knowledge sharing across teams

Our take
The number of companies switching to fully-remote set-up is booming. Aiming to capitalise on this, Remote helps companies of all sizes hire and manage international employees across benefits, taxes, payroll and compliance.
According to Remote, local and international regulations constantly change. Thus, the company's unique selling point is that its law attorneys and HR specialists are focused on supervising regulations on a daily basis and ensuring that the clients avoid expensive compliance mistakes. Remote also differentiates itself through its network of local legal entities that cover all of the countries they offer services for to ensure the clients receive the best protection in the industry. Moreover, the company offers a platform for distributed teams that makes it easy for companies to onboard and pay international contractors and employees.
Remote's history of funding - that helped secure its $3Billion valuation - has supported expansion across markets, as well as being used to expand partnerships and integrations. Further development of its tool suite can be expected, as the company pushes to be the first name in distributed HR.
