Keep the office running so nobody else has to think about it — ops, admin, and the hundred small things that make the studio a great place to work.
- Keep the office running so nobody else has to think about it. Supplies stocked, space clean and working, deliveries handled, the little things fixed before anyone notices them. Good office management is invisible when it works and obvious when it doesn’t.
- Own the day-to-day ops end to end. Vendors, invoices, subscriptions, tools, logistics — you’re the person who makes sure the bills are paid, the licenses are live, and the studio has what it needs to do its best work.
- Obsess over the details. Everything tracked, nothing dropped, blockers spotted early. Vagueness and forgotten tasks slow the whole studio down — your job is to make the boring stuff reliable.
- Range widely. One morning you’re onboarding a new hire, the afternoon you’re chasing an invoice, booking travel, or planning the next team event. You’re comfortable zooming from a broken coffee machine to a quarterly renewal without dropping either.
- Make people feel taken care of. New starters land smoothly, the space feels good to be in, and small frustrations get solved fast. You set the tone that makes coming into the office something people actually enjoy.
- Work shoulder to shoulder with leadership, finance, and every team. Most of the job is communication — do it plainly and kindly, in person and in writing. You’re the connective tissue that keeps the studio’s day-to-day pointed in the same direction.
- Handle the people-ops basics. Onboarding and offboarding, keeping records tidy, coordinating with leadership on hiring logistics, and being a friendly, trustworthy first point of contact for the team.
- Size the work honestly. Name what’s on your plate, flag what needs budget or a decision, and surface problems before they become emergencies.
- Hold the bar without becoming bureaucracy. Just enough process to keep things reliable, never so much it gets in the way. Nothing important slips because the admin dropped the ball.
- Protect the culture. Organize the events, celebrate the wins, keep morale high, and back a can-do studio culture without ego.
None of these are hard requirements — strong candidates tend to have most of them. If a couple are missing but you make up for it elsewhere, apply anyway.
- A track record running an office, ops, or admin function — ideally somewhere fast-moving where you owned a lot at once.
- Serious organizational chops: you keep many plates spinning and nothing hits the floor.
- Comfort with the money side — invoices, budgets, vendors, subscriptions — and the trustworthiness that comes with handling it.
- An instinct for when something’s about to go wrong, and the initiative to fix it before anyone asks.
- The ability to move between people, logistics, and admin without needing hand-holding.
- Warmth and discretion — people should find you approachable and trust you with sensitive things.
- Self-direction — you unblock yourself quickly and are happy owning outcomes.
- Clear communication in English, written and spoken.
- A genuine care for the people around you and the environment they work in.
Not needed to apply — but any of these will strengthen your case.
- Experience in a games studio, startup, or other creative/fast-scaling environment.
- Familiarity with HR/people-ops basics — onboarding, records, and light coordination with leadership.
- Comfort with ops and finance tools (spreadsheets, expense/invoice software, project trackers).
- A knack for planning events, team gatherings, or travel that people actually enjoy.
- Experience setting up lightweight process and systems where none existed before.
- A calm head under pressure when several things need handling at once.
- Extra strings to your bow such as bookkeeping, HR admin, or executive support.
