Head of People & Operations - Remote Gaming Company

About the Role

We are looking for a Head of People & Operations to help structure and scale a growing gaming company.

• Identify and remove organizational bottlenecks that impact execution and collaboration.

Requirements

• 10+ years of professional experience in the gaming industry.
• Proven experience working in the gaming industry (game development studio, publishing organization, or live game operations environment).
• Strong understanding of collaboration between engineering, design, product, and operations teams in game development environments.
• Experience working in Agile or iterative development environments commonly used in game production and technology teams.
• Experience designing or implementing operational frameworks such as PMO structures, governance models, or cross-team delivery processes.
• Experience improving operational efficiency and organizational workflows.
• Experience designing or improving candidate and employee lifecycle processes, including recruitment, onboarding, and early employee experience.
