HR Manager Full-Time, Remote (Europe) About Prism Studio Prism Studio is a Malta-based, independent video game development company focused on building unforgettable, player-first experiences driven by clear artistic direction, state-of-the-art tools and a strong visual identity. Our work is guided by a culture of innovation, creativity and close collaboration, allowing us to pursue our vision of bringing back the fun in video games and creating experiences that feel engaging, rewarding and memorable for players. We operate as a fully remote studio with a globally distributed team of experienced developers, artists and designers. Prism is structured around trust, accountability and clear communication, enabling us to collaborate efficiently across time zones while maintaining a consistent standard of quality and execution. The studio is currently developing its first PvPvE multiplayer showdown shooter, Heptic Arena, with the aim of standing out within the genre and leaving a lasting impression on players. Join us on our exciting journey as we continue to build cutting-edge games, push the boundaries of what’s possible in the gaming world, and provide unparalleled entertainment and compelling experiences for players around the globe! Why This Role Matters At Prism, our people directly shape the quality of the games we build. As a growing independent studio, having the right people in the right roles, and giving them the environment, structure and support to do their best work, is critical to our success. The HR Manager will take ownership of the people function across the studio, combining strategic workforce planning with hands-on recruitment, employee relations and HR operations. You will work closely with the CEO, studio leadership and hiring managers to anticipate talent needs, strengthen our people processes and ensure Prism continues to grow without losing the culture and ways of working that make the studio effective. This is not a role focused solely on policies or administration. You will be expected to understand how the studio operates, recognise where people-related challenges could affect production and take action before they become larger problems. Whether that means identifying a future hiring need, improving onboarding, supporting a manager through a difficult conversation or spotting early signs of disengagement, you will play an important role in keeping the team healthy, productive and aligned. Just as importantly, you will help create an environment where people feel comfortable raising concerns, giving honest feedback and taking ownership of problems. We want HR to be trusted, practical and embedded in the studio, not something people only interact with when there is a problem.
