Operational Transparency: Size work honestly, communicate what is on your plate, flag items needing budget approvals or decisions, and surface issues before they turn into emergencies. Balanced Process Management: Maintain high standards without introducing bureaucratic friction. Implement just enough structure to keep things reliable without getting in anyone’s way. Culture and Morale: Protect the studio culture by organizing events, celebrating milestones, keeping morale high, and championing an ego-free, can-do attitude.   What We Are Looking For While none of these qualifications are rigid requirements, strong candidates typically bring most of them: A proven track record running an office, operations, or administrative function, ideally in a fast-paced setting. Serious organizational capabilities: you can juggle multiple tasks simultaneously without letting anything drop. Comfort handling financial administration, including invoices, budgets, vendors, and subscriptions, backed by absolute trustworthiness. An intuitive instinct for spotting issues before they escalate and taking proactive initiative. The flexibility to transition between people-oriented tasks, logistics, and admin without requiring heavy oversight. Exceptional warmth, discretion, and approachability when handling sensitive matters. Strong self-direction, unblocking yourself quickly and taking full ownership of outcomes. Clear written and spoken communication skills in English. A genuine care for the people around you and the working environment. Nice-to-Haves While not mandatory to apply, any of the following will strengthen your candidacy: Previous experience in a game studio, tech startup, or creative, fast-scaling environment. Familiarity with HR and people-ops basics, such as onboarding, record-keeping, and leadership coordination. Proficiency with operational and financial tools, including spreadsheets, expense software, and project trackers. A natural talent for planning team gatherings, events, or travel experiences people genuinely enjoy. Experience establishing lightweight administrative systems from scratch.
