  • Extensive HR technology experience within a complex, global, growth-focused business, with a focus on Oracle HCM Core HR, payroll tie-ins, Dimensions, and benefits integrations.
  • Experience overseeing HR integrations (payroll, benefits, recruiting, time & attendance, learning, etc.) and ensuring end-to-end data accuracy.
  • Expertise in HR data governance, including audits, controls, and error prevention processes.
  • Proven track record of leading HR analytics, security, organizational structures, and system governance, with the ability to deliver consistent dashboards and insights.
  • Experience rebuilding and leading high-performing HRIS teams, including talent evaluation, hiring, and capability upgrades.
  • Strong collaboration and partnership skills; able to work credibly across HR, Payroll, Finance, Benefits, and IT.
  • Equal comfort as a strategic thought partner and an operational driver.

  • An advocate for the team who builds consensus across the organization to achieve company goals.
  • Inspires a culture of innovation, accountability, and positivity.
  • Represents the essence of the Fanatics brand and its values while simultaneously engaging and energizing all aspects of the organization.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
