Our Vision is to be the world's leading digital sports media company, making sports entertainment more engaging and transparent for fans worldwide. At Better Collective, we're the team behind industry-leading brands like Action Network, HLTV, Playmaker, and The Nation Network.

We're looking for a proactive, detail-oriented, and collaborative Payroll & Benefits Specialist to join our People Operations team.

This role is for you if...

  • You take immense pride in 100% accuracy and thrive in a multi-country environment.

  • You are a "Compliance Hero" who isn't afraid to dive into state/provincial tax registrations to ensure we avoid penalties as we grow.

  • You enjoy being the go-to expert for complex employee queries, explaining intricate tax or benefit info in a way that’s easy to understand.

  • You are curious and collaborative, eager to learn international HR processes and build positive relationships across a global team.

How You'll Make an Impact

  • Payroll Execution (US & Canada): Own the end-to-end bi-weekly payroll cycles for North America, ensuring everything runs smoothly and accurately.

  • Benefits & Open Enrollment: Lead engaging benefits sessions for new hires and support the annual renewal and Open Enrollment experience.

  • Compliance & Audits: Oversee local taxation setups, manage 401(k) and IRS/DOL audits, and prepare essential government filings.

  • Regional Support: Stretch your wings to support HR processes (onboarding, offboarding, changes) for our LatAm and North American teams.

  • Continuous Improvement: Identify and implement process efficiencies to enhance the People Ops function.

Meet Your Manager & Team

You’ll report to Julieta Moschini, a manager who values technical expertise and a proactive attitude. You will work hand-in-hand with a team of three People Operations colleagues covering the Americas, ensuring seamless backup and support for all HR operations.

What We Offer: Perks, Growth & Culture
