Role
Who you are
- A demonstrated ability to juggle multiple priorities with speed and accuracy
- Sharp problem-solving instincts—you anticipate needs, navigate ambiguity with confidence, and find creative solutions before others even notice there’s an issue
- Strong writing and communication skills with a clear sense of tone, audience, and brand
- In-office availability (5 days/week) and a hands-on mindset that thrives in real-time collaboration and fast-paced execution
- A willingness to occasionally support personal errands or off-site coordination outside regular working hours
- A growth mindset and the ambition to learn across functions
- Meticulous organizational skills and a love of building structure where there isn’t any
- Proven proficiency with Google Workspace, and tools like Canva, Notion, Asana, and Slack
- Exceptional attention to detail—you read between the lines and catch small cues, like the request to mention 'inbox zero' in your application
- Experience with AI tools and automation that improve your workflows
- A valid driver’s license and access to a personal vehicle for occasional errands, event support, or off-site logistics
What the job involves
- This is not your average admin role
- It’s a high-impact position that keeps our Executive Team running smoothly while amplifying our brand voice internally and externally
- You’ll streamline calendars, unblock workflows, and serve as a key connector across teams, all while contributing to brand content that reflects who we are as a company
- You’ll get hands-on exposure to the inner workings of a live operations company—executive ops, recruiting, brand, and culture—with mentorship from senior leaders and room to grow into marketing, operations, or strategy
- Executive Partnership
- Coordinate complex calendars, travel logistics, and meeting materials for our Executive Team
- Compile briefing decks and concise summaries for internal and external stakeholders
- Manage select personal projects and concierge-style tasks for CEO to free up bandwidth
- Act as gatekeeper for follow-ups and confidential information, resolving scheduling conflicts proactively
- Anticipate needs and surface potential bottlenecks before they become problems
- Brand Marketing & Content
- Maintain and execute the content calendar: draft, schedule, and publish posts across social media properties
- Collaborate with design partners to brief on visuals and ensure brand consistency
- Track engagement metrics, prepare weekly highlights, and recommend optimizations
- Special Projects & Media Management
- Contribute to cross-functional projects, including marketing asset production, brand campaigns, and liveops initiatives
- Assist with data organization, basic reporting, and AI-powered research to support content development and strategy
- Support light production workflows such as uploading assets, coordinating edits, formatting video content, and preparing digital media for distribution
- Office & Recruiting Operations
- Keep our Toronto HQ guest-ready: welcome visitors, liaise with building management, maintain inventory of supplies and equipment
- Coordinate logistics for internal events and team socials from concept through on-site support
- Partner with People & Culture on interview scheduling, candidate communications, and onboarding logistics
Our take
Big Viking Games has long championed HTML5 as the go-to language for developing online social games, and with the decline of Adobe Flash, its foresight is paying off. In fact, many are now touting HTML HTML5 as the future of online social gaming, thanks to its ability to create smooth, embeddable games that bypass the hefty commission of app stores. So, it's a bit surprising that Big Viking Games hasn't yet expanded its impressive portfolio beyond the two major hits it released years ago.
However, there are exciting signs that the studio is working on something new and ambitious. Rumours point to a mobile project in the works. which would be a significant move for the company. Even more intriguing is the suggestion that this project could tap into the blockchain and crypto space, a rapidly growing industry that promises to revolutionize gaming.
As blockchain games are poised to gain tremendous traction in the coming years, Big Viking Games has a unique opportunity to break new ground. With its solid foundation and a fresh, innovative project, it could strike gold with a game that could reshape the landscape and drive major success.
