At Poki, our mission is to create the ultimate online playground - a place where over 90 million players worldwide enjoy the best web games from a vibrant global community of 500+ game developer teams. We believe play is how we learn, and we’re looking for Head of People to join our team and help grow our mobile game portfolio and help it thrive across genres.
As Head of People, you’ll lead our People team (HR, Recruitment, Office) and act as a key advisor to our leadership team.

You’ll report directly to our CEO and sit in our Company Circle (MT).
You’ll play a key role in preserving, communicating, and strengthening Poki’s culture, one that’s built on healthy performance, fast delivery (unstuckness), and a high quality bar.

YOU:

• We’re looking for someone proactive, strategic, with a hands-on mentality. Someone who can lead at both the people and product level. You’ll bring:
• 10+ years of experience in HR, including leadership roles in scale-ups
• A hands-on mentality and bias for action
• Strong project & product management skills (Agile mindset)
• Experience building scalable HR processes from the ground up
• Excellent communication skills in both Dutch and English
• Strong knowledge of Dutch labor law and HR systems (sick leave process, Humaans, Nmbrs, Lever)
