- You’ll play a critical role in making DarkLion Studio an organization where talent thrives.
And yes — we expect you to be a crazy head about building something that lasts.

- Curious and excited about AI in HR — using tools to automate and scale processes.
- Excellent communicator with strong interpersonal skills.
- Adaptable and self-driven — ready to work in a fast-paced startup environment.
- Passionate about culture-building, not just admin tasks.
- Brave enough to step into the unknown, make mistakes, and learn fast.
Bonus Skills
- Knowledge of AI HR tech tools.
- Creative employer branding (social presence, LinkedIn culture stories).
- Basic finance knowledge for payroll & compliance.
- Conflict resolution and mediation skills
Growth Path
- Year 1: HR Generalist (Founding Member) – set up systems, support hiring.
- Year 2: HR Lead / People Ops Manager – manage recruitment, L&D, culture scaling.
- Year 3: Head of People & Culture – oversee team, lead HR function, build employer brand.
Non-Negotiables
- Must be startup-ready: adaptable, self-driven, and comfortable wearing multiple hats.
- Must believe in AI adoption — use it daily to automate, improve, and scale HR work.
- Must have excellent communication — since you’ll be the face of DarkLion Studio for the people we hire.
- Must value ownership over excuses, growth over comfort, team-first over ego
