People Operations through strong execution, process thinking, coordination, and automation.

You will work closely with PBPs, business leaders, Finance, Legal, Service Desk, and employees across the company to ensure
people-related processes work reliably, clearly, and without unnecessary friction.
You will also work across multiple operational systems and platforms used within the People function, including HRIS, ATS,
learning, benefits, and engagement tools.

Playson is looking for a People Business Partner with knowledge of the Ukrainian language who can operate close to the business, work directly with leaders on organisational challenges, and help maintain a high-performance environment without turning the company into a bureaucratic HR machine. This role is not about running HR processes for the sake of process. We are looking for someone who can: * help leaders make strong people decisions; * maintain high talent quality; * Identify organisational risks early. * and ensure leadership, hiring, and performance problems do not silently accumulate over time. The PBP works primarily through leaders - not around them. WHAT YOU’LL BRING * Knowledge of the Ukrainian language is a must * 5+ years of experience in HRBP, Head of People, HRD, organisational partnership, or similar leadership-facing roles. * Strong experience working with leaders in fast-moving environments. * Ability to challenge stakeholders directly, constructively, and without unnecessary politics. * Strong judgment and ability to operate in ambiguous situations. * High level of ownership, maturity, and communication clarity. * Ability to connect people and topics with business reality and execution impact. * Comfortable with difficult conversations, organisational tension, and imperfect environments. * Ability to remain calm, structured, and pragmatic under pressure. * Ability to build trust with strong personalities and leadership teams while still being able to challenge them when needed. * Ability to simplify complexity instead of adding bureaucracy. * Strong business and organisational awareness. * Interest in scalable organisational practices, operational clarity, and AI-supported People infrastructure. WHAT YOU’LL DO * Partner with leaders on hiring, team structure, organisational effectiveness, performance, ownership gaps, and delivery risks. * Push discussions toward decisions and outcomes instead of endless alignment loops. * Help leaders define what “strong” actually means for critical roles and challenge weak hiring compromises. * Support leaders in addressing underperformance early and directly. * Identify early organisational signals such as leadership gaps, burnout, unhealthy dependencies, misalignment, or execution risks. * Help improve feedback quality, leadership practices, and decision consistency across teams. * Support practical and scalable organisational approaches instead of overcomplicated HR frameworks. * Contribute to improving internal documentation, operational clarity, and AI-supported People knowledge infrastructure over time. This role is not: * an employee support hotline; * a process coordinator; * a “culture activities” owner; * a passive mediator avoiding uncomfortable conversations; * or someone hiding behind frameworks instead of making judgment calls. The goal of the role is not to centralise ownership inside the People function. We expect PBPs to strengthen leadership capability, improve decision quality, and help leaders become more effective and self-sufficient over time. We value: * clarity over ambiguity; * direct communication over corporate politeness; * speed with accountability; * impact over activity. WHAT WE OFFER * Hybrid work & flexible schedule * Medical insurance (+1 coverage option) * Professional development reimbursement * Online English classes * Employee referral bonus program RECRUITMENT PROCESS * HR Interview * Leadership Interview * Final Interview If you are comfortable working closely with leadership, solving organisational problems, and helping strong teams scale without unnecessary bureaucracy, we’d love to hear from you.
ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for someone who owns delivery - not tracks it, not reports it, owns it. You'll be responsible for a specific area: games, features, or platform work. From the first conversation about a requirement through to production - you're on the hook for the whole thing. This isn't a meeting-facilitation job. It's not about keeping Jira up to date or running standups. It's about making sure engineering teams have a clear path to delivery and nothing is getting in their way. You set the timeline, track it, and communicate changes before people start asking questions. If there's a blocker, you've already seen it. If a release isn't ready, you say so - clearly and early. You'll look at how work flows through your area and fix what's broken. Not just follow whatever process exists. You'll design something that actually works, iterate on it, and make it better over time. Quality is yours too. Not QA's problem alone, not the tech lead's problem. You own release readiness: is it tested, is it documented, does anyone know the operational risk. If the answer is no, it doesn't ship. You'll work closely with product, engineering, QA, and client-facing teams, keep them aligned, and report directly to the VP of Delivery. What we expect from you First 30 days * Understand how delivery actually works in your area - not how it should work, how it actually works * Map where work gets stuck, what the recurring blockers are, and who the key people are * Meet everyone who matters: product owners, tech leads, QA, release managers, client teams * Write up what you found and share it with the VP of Delivery First 60 days * Take ownership of delivery tracking for your area * Pick the biggest workflow problem you found and start fixing it * Show you can catch a blocker before it causes a delay - at least twice First 90 days * Own and communicate a delivery forecast that stakeholders actually trust * Ship at least one release with no last-minute surprises - quality gates passed, documentation done, everyone aligned * Present your view on how delivery should work in your area going forward What we're looking for * 3+ years in an engineering delivery, software delivery leadership, or similar role where you owned outcomes, not just process * You catch problems early. Not because you're lucky, but because you know what signals to watch * You've worked across engineering, product, and QA and you know how to keep them moving together * Strong communicator - you can give a clear, honest delivery update to a VP without needing a slide deck * You care about quality beyond closing tickets - release readiness, testing coverage, operational risk are things you think about naturally * You're genuinely interested in the product you're delivering, not just the process around it Nice to have * Background in iGaming, gaming, or another regulated product environment * Experience in a B2B or multi-operator delivery model * Familiarity with incident management and post-mortems * Experience working with external studios or third-party development partners * OKR-based planning and how it connects to delivery cadence * Jira or similar tooling - configuration, not just usage WHAT WE OFFER * Competitive Salary * Quarterly Bonuses * Unlimited Paid Time Off * Unlimited Paid Sick Leave * Remote & Flexible Working * Private Medical Insurance * Financial Support for Life Events * Professional Development Budget * International Exposure * Regular Company Events *Benefits may vary depending on location and contractual agreement #LI-DNI
