<div class="BambooRichText jss-f899">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.

 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.
