As a global gaming company, we’ve helped millions to fight their way through fearsome mobs in Minecraft Dungeons, battle each other and the environment in Rust: Console Edition and most recently worked with Bethesda Game Studios to craft new adventures for Vault Dwellers around the world in Fallout 76.
Most recently, we worked with Rockstar Games to bring the beloved western experience Red Dead Redemption and its horror companion Undead Nightmare together for the first time on the Nintendo Switch and modern PlayStation systems.
We’re growing rapidly and as a result we’re looking for a People Lead to join our studio in Mid Valley City, Kuala Lumpur. As the People Lead of our Double Eleven KL studio, you’ll support the Global HR Manager to deliver a people-focused service to the KL studio to meet the operational HR needs of the business.

This is an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking a role that encompasses both hands-on generalist tasks and strategic business partnering responsibilities. You’ll support core practices like performance management, employee engagement and development, as well leading on organisation building initiatives such as building out our wellbeing support framework.
We can support relocation within Malaysia and have a dedicated Operations team on standby to assist you and your family with every step to us.
Strictly no agencies (sorry guys!) and we’re unable to sponsor a visa for this role.
