People & Finance Advisor

Who Are We

We are the makers of casual mobile hit Love & Pies, which globally launched in September 2021 and has now found its way into the hands of millions of players around the world. We’re backed by Supercell, one of the biggest and best in the industry.

‍We make games for everyone that are snackable yet nourishing — built to fit into your daily life, but with the emotional depth of your favourite TV show. Our team always comes first at Trailmix, and our culture is built on both high performance and high care — we strive to be the best versions of ourselves, but always within an environment based on inclusivity, respect and safety, no matter who you are or where you come from.

The Opportunity:

We’re looking for a People & Finance Advisor who thrives in a fast-paced environment, is a natural doer, and can confidently take tasks and run with them. This is a highly operational, hands-on role that sits at the heart of our People and Finance functions but also stretches across the business.

You'll work with teammates from every part of Trailmix, building strong relationships and becoming a trusted partner for people, process, and culture. From bringing our values to life to ensuring our operations run like clockwork, you’ll play a vital role in shaping the experience of working at Trailmix.

Reporting into our People & Talent Director, and working closely with our Finance Team and Office Manager, you’ll support and drive cultural initiatives, embody our values, and help create a warm, inclusive, and values-aligned employee experience.

If you're someone who enjoys making things better, finds satisfaction in well-run processes, and brings equal parts rigour and heart to your work – read on.
