Who are we?

At Roll7, we create exciting and critically acclaimed video games - including the BAFTA-winning OlliOlli franchise. Innovation, freedom, and a real sense of fun are at the heart of everything we do, from creating award-winning original IPs to the everyday business of running our unique distributed workplace set-up.

With a current headcount of 50 we are growing and growing fast. We need great talent to help us on our journey to build a remarkable studio and help shape the way video games are made in the industry.

Game Changers in Remote Working

We've been a remotely distributed studio for the past five years; way before any type of lockdown and pandemic, so we know how to make it work! But pre-restrictions we would make sure our guys would meet up once every ten days to keep staff engagement alive and have some real life human interaction. We plan to pick this up again as soon as we can safely do so.

Our robust online communication system, alongside scheduled team fun days and activities, allow us to retain all the positives of a welcoming and friendly office environment, without the downsides of a long and expensive commute and office politics.

Flexible working

We know that remote work allows us to offer a high degree of freedom and autonomy to our motivated and creative staff, and we're passionate about making sure that everyone at Roll7 can work in a way that allows them to balance impressive workplace achievements with their own responsibilities at home.

To compliment this we have a robust flexible working policy that allows you to cover your working hours however best suits you, so that the work day can fit around your needs - from doctor’s appointments, to the school run, to extra time to spend with your pets and family. We also do not crunch, we don't want our guys to be burnt out or suffer from technostress so working your hours and not crunching is one of our biggest priorities.

Everyone is welcome

Our team is at the heart of everything we do, and it matters to us that everyone feels comfortable and valued at work. We are an equal opportunities employer, and we have a keen commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where all of our employees are accepted and valued as part of the team. We hire based on talent and suitability for the role - regardless of race, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, religion, pregnancy, marital status or veteran status.

To support this, as a #RaiseTheGame pledge partner, we are deeply committed to creating an inclusive work environment that actively encourages applications from diverse backgrounds and perspectives across underrepresented communities such as BAME, LGBTQIA+ and Disabled applicants. We love to give every employee a chance to play and contribute to the games we make, we love giving people the freedom to pursue their own path to success.

The role

The HR and Operations Assistant is a really important role within the business and is crucial to helping us achieve our business goals. You will report directly into the Head of HR and Operations and interact with everyone in some way across the business. One of the main advantages of working for a growing SME is you will be provided with the visibility on all key HR functions and have the opportunity to learn, grow and develop on HR projects that are usually hard to come across. We dont believe in hierarchy here and if you have an idea on how to better the studio in some way, you will have the freedom to pitch, plan and deliver on it! The role is varied, fast paced, rewarding and remote! There will be a heavy focus on recruitment and ISO27001 so you will be someone who is open to these projects.

Typical tasks and projects you will work on include:

Recruitment - cv screening, booking in interviews, asking screening questions, assisting in inductions
ISO27001 data security management - hardware and software management, administration, risk assessments
Diary management - rearranging/booking in meetings for multiple people,
Administration tasks - HR admin including risk assessments, contracts, offers, leavers docs etc
Helping plan team fun - coming up with ideas, planning and running team fun events
Diversity and inclusion initiatives - managing D&I tasks, pitching ideas,

You as a HR and Operations Assistant

Passionate about what you do. You will be primarily handling all HR administrative tasks. This means you will be interacting with all levels of staff and will be the virtual eyes and ears to the business. You have to have a passion for what you do and keep staff engaged and happy. Your passion for HR and creating one of the best places to work will ignite new ideas that you will be happy to pitch, plan and deliver on.

Open to taking on projects or tasks that maybe new. With such a varied day you will be asked to cover anything from arranging interviews to carrying out risk assessments or providing software licences, to arranging team fun and assisting with ISO tasks simultaneously. As a growing studio, you will come across tasks you may not have done before so an logical inquisitive nature will come naturally to you.

An open mind and friendly nature is vital. You will come across sensitive, confidential issues that you may often be the first point of contact for. Being friendly and open minded will be your usual way of handling HR tasks.

Does not get put off by juggling multiple tasks. As this is a growing studio, you will have a number of different tasks handed to you at any one time from different managers or Directors. You will be great at juggling tasks, managing time, thrive under pressure and being kept busy.

Proactive. Being proactive and forward planning will help you manage your day to day tasks and minimise disruption. Working remotely will also mean you will need to manage your day and work to the beat of your own drum happily.
