LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network, built to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. Our products help people make powerful connections, discover exciting opportunities, build necessary skills, and gain valuable insights every day.
As part of our strategic growth plans, LinkedIn is expanding into new markets. In Thailand, we are partnering with Deel, an Employer of Record (EOR), to hire top talent who will represent LinkedIn and help us grow our presence in this exciting market.
At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business.

While you will work closely with LinkedIn teams and represent the LinkedIn brand in Thailand, your official employer will be Deel, acting as LinkedIn’s Employer of Record in Thailand for this role.
