People Business Partner

Playson is looking for a People Business Partner with knowledge of the Ukrainian language who can operate close to the business, work directly with leaders on organisational challenges, and help maintain a high-performance environment without turning the company into a bureaucratic HR machine.

We are looking for someone who can:

• help leaders make strong people decisions;

• maintain high talent quality;

• Identify organisational risks early.

• and ensure leadership, hiring, and performance problems do not silently accumulate over time.

The PBP works primarily through leaders - not around them.

• →

  Partner with leaders on hiring, team structure, organisational effectiveness, performance, ownership gaps, and delivery risks.

• →

  Push discussions toward decisions and outcomes instead of endless alignment loops.

• →

  Help leaders define what “strong” actually means for critical roles and challenge weak hiring compromises.

• →

  Support leaders in addressing underperformance early and directly.

• →

  Identify early organisational signals such as leadership gaps, burnout, unhealthy dependencies, misalignment, or execution risks.

• →

  Help improve feedback quality, leadership practices, and decision consistency across teams.

• →

  Support practical and scalable organisational approaches instead of overcomplicated HR frameworks.

• →

  Contribute to improving internal documentation, operational clarity, and AI-supported People knowledge infrastructure over time.

• an employee support hotline;

• a process coordinator;

• a “culture activities” owner;

• a passive mediator avoiding uncomfortable conversations;

• or someone hiding behind frameworks instead of making judgment calls.

We expect PBPs to strengthen leadership capability, improve decision quality, and help leaders become more effective and self-sufficient over time.

• clarity over ambiguity;

• direct communication over corporate politeness;

• speed with accountability;

• impact over activity.

• HR Interview

• Hiring Manager Interview

• Final Interview

If you are comfortable working closely with leadership, solving organisational problems, and helping strong teams scale without unnecessary bureaucracy, we’d love to hear from you.
