Job description
THE OPPORTUNITY This is a senior HR Generalist role at the heart of how Big Viking Games takes care of its people. Reporting directly to the COO, you'll support the full HR function across recruiting, onboarding, culture, retention, and workforce planning. You'll be someone who can roll up their sleeves to keep things running smoothly, but also someone who notices what isn't working and brings ideas to the table.

We're looking for someone with solid HR fundamentals, good instincts, and the ambition to grow. You'll work closely with the COO to make sure the people side of the business is healthy, organized, and moving in the right direction.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN Talent Acquisition

Support recruiting efforts across all roles, partnering with the COO and department heads on hiring needs

Manage the hiring process end-to-end: job postings, candidate coordination, interview scheduling, offer logistics, and onboarding handoff

Manage and direct contract recruiters, setting clear KPIs and holding the function accountable to targets

Build and maintain a strong employer brand and candidate pipeline in a competitive talent market

Employee Experience & Retention

Own and drive the company's eNPS (Employee Net Promoter Score) program — design survey cadence, analyze results, identify themes, and build action plans that actually move the needle

Translate eNPS and engagement data into concrete recommendations for leadership, with clear owners and timelines

Partner with the COO to develop and execute a retention strategy for key talent, with particular focus on flight-risk identification and proactive intervention

Support employee onboarding to accelerate time-to-productivity and set new hires up for long-term success

Champion a high-trust, high-performance culture across remote and in-person team members

HR Operations & Compliance

Maintain HRIS integrity and own all HR data reporting: headcount, attrition, engagement trends, and workforce metrics

Oversee employment lifecycle administration, including onboarding, offboarding, role changes, and leave management

Ensure compliance with Canadian employment standards across all provinces where employees are located

Support payroll coordination and benefits administration in partnership with Finance and external providers

Growing the Function

Bring a critical eye to existing HR processes and surface concrete recommendations to the COO on where the function can improve

Actively seek out opportunities to streamline workflows and introduce better tooling, including AI-assisted solutions where they add genuine value

Grow into broader ownership of people programs over time, commensurate with demonstrated impact

WHAT YOU BRING

4-6 years of HR experience in a generalist or HR operations role

Demonstrated experience owning eNPS, engagement surveys, or equivalent culture measurement programs - including turning results into action

Track record of influencing senior leadership on people strategy; comfortable presenting data and recommendations to a COO or CEO

Deep knowledge of Canadian employment law and multi-provincial HR compliance

Experience with HRIS platforms (BambooHR, Rippling, Workday, or similar) and ATS tools

Data-literate: you track metrics, build dashboards, and let the numbers guide decisions

Excellent judgment and discretion - you handle sensitive situations with maturity and care

Thrives in a lean, fast-moving environment where structure isn't always pre-built

NICE TO HAVE

Hands-on experience deploying agentic AI solutions to HR workflows

Background in gaming, tech, or consumer mobile - you understand creative, product-driven cultures

Experience building or restructuring a People function from the ground up

CHRP or CHRL designation

Comprehensive health and wellness benefits

Generous PTO and holidays
