HR Manager, LATAM

Job Overview:

We are no ordinary People team - we are on a relentless mission to create an inspiring place to work with a standout culture. We need game changers who can work in a fast-paced environment, not fazed by a challenge you may never have faced before. It’s all in the attitude, the passion about owning, delivering and improving. And most of all, playing a key role in an incredible team. We aren’t the kind of People team to sit in a remote office with the doors closed. Our people are people, they aren’t numbers.

This is a full-time, hybrid role requiring in-office presence two days per week at our Mexico City WeWork office.

What You’ll Do:

We are seeking an experienced HR Manager to lead and oversee all People operations for our Mexico-based workforce. This role will serve as the primary People Partner for the region, responsible for aligning local execution with global people strategies while ensuring full compliance with Mexican labor laws.

The ideal candidate brings strong hands-on HR expertise in Mexico, combined with the ability to operate effectively in a global, matrixed organization.

Responsibilities:

• Serve as the primary People lead and Business Partner for Mexico, supporting local leadership and employees across the full employee lifecycle.

• Own all People operations in Mexico, including payroll, benefits administration, recruitment, onboarding, offboarding, and employee relations.

• Ensure full compliance with Mexican labor laws and statutory requirements, including IMSS, INFONAVIT, PTU, Aguinaldo, and applicable employment regulations.

• Partner with the global People team, Legal, Finance, and external vendors to ensure accurate and compliant processes.

• Lead recruitment efforts for Mexico-based roles in collaboration with global Recruiting teams.

• Provide guidance to managers on performance management, employee relations, and workforce planning.

• Champion employee experience, engagement, and culture initiatives aligned with company values.

• Monitor HR metrics and provide insights to inform business decisions.

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of progressive HR experience with direct responsibility for HR operations in Mexico.

• Strong knowledge of Mexican labor law, payroll, benefits, and employment practices.

• Experience operating as an HR Business Partner supporting managers and leadership.

• Fluent in Spanish and English (written and spoken).

• Experience working in global or multinational organizations preferred.

Nice to Haves:

• Experience working closely with U.S.-based or cross-border HR teams.

• Familiarity with HRIS platforms and HR analytics tools (e.g., Workday).
