Honor Games

Honor Games is an independent, systems‑driven game studio building worlds, tools, and communities with long‑range vision. We operate as a distributed team with a collaborative ethos, a focus on accessibility, and a commitment to building meaningful creative work.

We’re looking for a
People & Culture Coordinator
— someone who is energized by humans, community, emotional intelligence, and team cohesion. This is a
volunteer + revenue‑share
role designed for someone who wants to help shape the culture of a growing studio and support a mission‑driven team.

What You’ll Do

• Support team members and help maintain a healthy, collaborative environment
• Assist with onboarding, communication, and team integration
• Coordinate volunteer engagement and keep people connected to the mission
• Track team morale, interpersonal dynamics, and cultural health
• Help organize meetings, rituals, and community practices
• Serve as a bridge between leadership and the broader team
• Maintain clear documentation around people operations and team processes
• Support recruitment efforts by screening candidates and managing communication

Who You Are

• Emotionally intuitive
  — you read people well and communicate with warmth
• Organized and proactive
  — you follow through, follow up, and keep things moving
• Community‑minded
  — you care about connection, belonging, and shared purpose
• A natural mediator
  — you can hold space for concerns and help resolve tension
• Comfortable in early‑stage, creative, volunteer‑driven environments
• Mission‑driven
  — you want to help build something meaningful and long‑term

Experience in People Ops, HR coordination, community management, or team leadership is helpful but not required. Emotional intelligence and alignment matter more than credentials.

Compensation

This is a
volunteer role
with
revenue‑share
tied to long‑term studio success.

You’ll be part of the core team shaping the culture and future of Honor Games.

Why Join Honor Games

• Help build a studio with a long‑range, systems‑driven creative vision
• Shape the culture of a team that values depth, clarity, and integrity
• Work closely with leadership to design a healthy, human‑centered environment
• Grow into a role that can evolve as the studio scales
