Drive organizational design to ensure flexibility, resilience, and high-velocity execution.
Embed scalable performance and development frameworks that align with business outcomes.
Partner with leaders across functions to execute change management and org-wide transformation initiatives.
Serve as a culture and values champion, shaping Sky Mavis’ internal voice and external employer brand.
Monitor employment laws and compliance across global jurisdictions and proactively manage risk.
What We’re Looking For
10+ years of progressive HR/People leadership experience in high-growth environments.
Proven ability to build and scale HR systems, programs, and org design strategies from scratch.
Experience managing globally distributed teams across time zones and cultures.
Deep knowledge of HR operations, performance, org design, and compliance.
Strong communicator who’s comfortable debating, influencing, and aligning with C-suite stakeholders.
Familiarity with Web3, gaming, or emerging tech sectors is a strong plus.
