Job details
Description
We’re hiring an Operations Manager (maternity leave coverage) to help keep Steamclock Software ticking for our team of 14.

Steamclock is a profitable and growing studio in Vancouver that makes very nice mobile apps. Our focus is shipping great products, and building the company we want to work at. We make apps for interesting clients like Lush, Mozilla, and Ridwell, and we also make apps for ourselves, like our side-project game Two Spies.
Like any small company, you’ll have the chance to wear many hats – ranging from administrative to team-facing, from coordination to leadership. We’re trying to build the best darn software studio in the world, and your skills and perspective will help us bring that to the next level.
