About the Role

Fanatics Collect is building its first engineering hub in Mexico City, and this role is central to making it a great place to work from day one. As People and Workplace Lead, you will be the on-the-ground presence for a growing team — starting with launch and move-in preparation and evolving into a full HR support function as the office scales from its initial cohort of engineers to a broader 40+ person hub spanning engineering, data, design, and product.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who is equally comfortable coordinating a furniture delivery and having a sensitive employment conversation. You bring operational energy, HR expertise, and the kind of presence that makes a new office feel established.

What You'll Do

Launch & Office Readiness (near-term)

• Coordinate the physical move-in and Day 1 readiness for the WeWork Reforma space - furniture, IT equipment delivery, badging, and workspace setup
• Attend hiring events, career fairs, and campus recruiting activities to represent Fanatics Collect in the CDMX tech market
• Partner with IT and InfoSec to ensure network and hardware setup meets security requirements from day one
• Serve as the local point of contact for vendors, building management, and facilities coordination

HR Operations (ongoing)

• Lead new hire onboarding for all CDMX employees — coordinate pre-boarding logistics, Day 1 orientation, and 30/60/90-day check-ins
• Serve as the first line of employee relations support — advising employees and managers on HR policies, workplace concerns, and LFT-compliant practices
• Support employee engagement initiatives including team events, recognition programs, and culture-building activities in the office
• Assist in HR investigations and workplace inquiries, maintaining confidentiality and following established protocols in partnership with the global HR team
• Support performance management and disciplinary processes, including terminations, in coordination with Legal and global People Ops
• Consult with leadership and managers on people matters — you are the HR presence in the room when the global team is not on-site
• Maintain accurate employee records and support HRIS data hygiene for all CDMX staff
• Ensure compliance with Mexican labor law (LFT) requirements across employment practices, contracts, and benefits administration

About You

Required

• 3-6 years of HR generalist or HR operations experience, ideally in a fast-growing technology or multinational environment
• Strong working knowledge of Mexican labor law (LFT), IMSS, and standard employment practices in Mexico
• Full professional bilingualism in English and Spanish — you communicate clearly and confidently in both languages with both local and global stakeholders
• Proven ability to handle sensitive and confidential HR matters with discretion, empathy, and sound judgment
• Comfortable operating independently in an environment that is still building its local structure

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting office launches or expansions in a remote or regional capacity
• Familiarity with Deel or other EOR platforms
• Background in tech, e-commerce, or a high-growth startup environment
• Experience with HRIS platforms (Oracle, Workday, or similar)

What We Offer

• Competitive, market-benchmarked MXN compensation with full statutory benefits
• A front-row seat to building something new — this office will grow significantly, and so will your scope
• A global team invested in your success, with resources and support from People Ops, Legal, and IT across Fanatics
• WeWork Reforma workspace in one of Mexico City's premier tech corridors
