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.
