Deel and Golden State Agree to Multi-Year Partnership as Official HR Platform Partner

Deel, the leading global payroll and HR platform, today announced a multi-year partnership with Golden State, becoming the organization's Official HR Platform Partner.

Golden State is the latest organization to adopt Deel’s HR platform to simplify its workforce management and operations. The company will use Deel’s suite of products to centralize and optimize its team and employee operations across the Golden State Warriors, Golden State Valkyries, Santa Cruz Warriors, and the Chase Center.

To celebrate the partnership, Deel will donate tickets on the Warriors' opening night to small businesses across the Bay Area, celebrating the teams behind the businesses that make the region thrive and reflecting Deel's commitment to supporting work, from the Bay Area to around the world.

Through this partnership, Deel will engage fans and businesses during the 2026–2027 season via the following initiatives:

• In-Arena Branding: Featured placement on bench baseline Sideline Apron signage and key touchpoints throughout Chase Center.

• Marketing Touchpoints: Branding and promotional presence across various team and arena marketing channels.

• Fan & Business Engagement: Surprise and delight experiences for local businesses and fans at Chase Center all season long.

Nicole Barbour, Golden State SVP, Global Partnership Development: “We’re excited to partner with Deel across our teams and Chase Center. Their technology will help us bring our employee operations together, while the partnership creates opportunities to connect with fans, local businesses and community groups throughout the season.”

Alex Bouaziz, Co-Founder and CEO of Deel, added: “Golden State built something most organizations never figure out: infrastructure that scales faster than your ambition. Four championships in a decade doesn't happen just because you hired the right stars. It happens because every system in your organization works together. From hiring to payroll to benefits to equity management — each part has to be built for scale and built to win. That's exactly what we obsess over at Deel. Global hiring. Fast scaling. Competing at the highest level. None of it happens without systems that actually work. The Warriors figured this out years ago. Now we get to be the platform that keeps that machine running.”

Deel helps 40,000+ companies across 150+ countries expand globally. Currently valued at $17.3B, it’s the global infrastructure for borderless work, the HR and payroll platform for hiring, paying and managing teams all over the world.
