HR Manager (iGaming), Malta & Cyprus, middle: €3 000–4 000 per month gross · SpinHire data as of
What the role involves
iGaming teams grow in spurts: in six months a 20-person arbitrage team becomes a department of 80, and a holding opens an office in Belgrade or Limassol from scratch. An HR manager in this environment builds onboarding, performance reviews and a motivation system, deals with buyer burnout after losing months and holds on to strong team leads that competitors try to poach. A generalist at a studio or office also handles employment paperwork, holidays and relocation; an HRBP sits next to the heads of departments; an HRD owns HR strategy, structure and metrics such as turnover and eNPS. HR often covers part of the hiring too.
