Job Details

A Bit About Us

Gamemode One was founded 7 years ago to do things right in the Minecraft gaming space - especially doing right by our staff, and right by our players. We care deeply about our vibrant company culture, which enables us all to do our best work. We are looking to scale to meet our full potential, while continuing to prioritize staff-wellbeing, and make excellent games.


The Opportunity

In our growing organization, you’ll strengthen the foundational systems that support healthy teams to make great games. You’ll own and improve key parts of the employee lifecycle, including hiring, onboarding, promotions, and exits, ensuring processes are efficient and built with care. You’ll support payroll and benefits administration, and improve policy documentation to empower staff in confidently navigating the workplace.

You’ll bring your knowledge in HRIS, documentation, labour law compliance, and data analysis and learn how to navigate international contracting and visas. You’ll learn to support and empower managers in matters from recruiting to conflict resolution. You’ll maintain accurate HRIS records, and generate actionable insights from surveys - helping the organization stay informed, organized, and compliant while fostering a positive workplace culture. You won’t just work at a great company, you’ll actively make it better for those around you.


What we mean when we say ‘mid-level’

This role is listed at an experience level of “mid-level”. We know that this can mean something different across employers. For us, this means we are looking for someone who already has established experience in HR/people operations that they can contribute to the role. This doesn’t have to be in games, but having experience with comparable industries, or a personal pre-existing interest in games will help you stand out. We are looking for someone who will be confident handling all components of the employee lifecycle, with support from your manager and a senior consultant to support your continued growth. You will have a broad impact and take on a variety of HR work. This is likely not the role for you if this would be your first professional HR role, or if you are looking to specialize in one area of HR in the short term.


Within 1 month, you’ll…

  • Build initial relationships with your peers, and have 1:1 meetings with all managers to understand the collaboration between your roles. Begin defining how you will work together and support each other's goals
  • Review HRIS data for consistency and errors, and update as necessary
  • Establish an understanding of our employee lifecycle processes and documentation, and identify present strengths, weaknesses, and needs of the HR function
  • Accurately and efficiently handle payroll preparation; coordinating reimbursements, benefits, and invoicing with our bookkeeper.
  • Understand the present and long-term goals of Gamemode One and how that informs your role
  • Demonstrate cultural understanding and values alignment by leveraging inquisitiveness and courage while learning about the company


Within 3 months, you’ll…

  • Successfully coordinate onboarding and offboarding for new hires and departures, as well as other key milestones in the employee lifecycle, such as raises and role changes.
  • Conduct, compile, and present results from at least one employee survey, with actionable insights shared with leadership. Tailor future surveys for more valuable insights.
  • Coordinate your first hiring process - writing job descriptions, screening applicants, coordinating interviews, and working in close collaboration with the hiring manager.
  • Lead planning and execution of your first staff engagement initiative, contributing to an in-office culture of inclusion and camaraderie.
  • Begin advising managers on how to deliver praise and address pain points with staff. You’ll approach these in a direct but caring way, with the guidance of our Senior HR Consultant.


Within 6 months, you’ll…

  • Proficiently coordinate and improve employee lifecycle workflows, improving key metrics such as time-to-hire and ensuring a stellar onboarding experience.
  • Streamline employment documentation and processes to improve staff understanding of workplace expectations. Increase clarity and accuracy of company policies informed by team feedback and friction
  • Work with managers to ensure they are successfully helping their directs navigate the employee lifecycle. Support in the continued refinement and adoption of salary bands and professional development.
  • Support in the coordination of staff relocation or work permits, ensuring a high degree of care and accuracy in handling documents and information


Within 12 months, you’ll…

  • Fully own and refine employee lifecycle processes, ensuring continuous improvement in efficiency and alignment with company goals.
  • Develop and maintain a comprehensive dashboard for tracking and analyzing employee data, providing actionable insights for leadership.
  • Advocate for the continued refinement of company policies to improve employee satisfaction and engagement. Ensure policies remain compliant with labour laws.
  • Independently coordinate staff relocations or work permits, ensuring a positive and smooth experience for all involved.
  • Establish yourself as a trusted resource for staff and leadership, fostering a collaborative, engaged, and thriving workplace culture.


Why our job descriptions look like this

Our job descriptions look different than the average, and that’s on purpose! We find the normal approach to be far too prescriptive. Defining explicit qualifications and requirements would be us defining how you should have acquired a certain skillset. What these generally achieve is intimidating those who don’t fit the mold to not apply. That’s not our style. To be inclusive and clear, we take a more descriptive approach. Read through the opportunity and the description of the work you’ll be doing. Decide for yourself if the work excites you, and is something that you are able to rise to the challenge of.


Benefits

  • Unlimited paid time off, with a 2-week minimum
  • Flexible hybrid schedule, with a focus on in-office
  • Health Spending Account of $3000/year
  • Charitable matching of $2000/year
  • Investment in professional development, with Senior HR mentorship
  • Access to the benefits above without a probationary period
