Job description

At Kabam, we’re constantly raising the bar of excellence in free-to-play gaming. We hire for passion and diversity so that we can triumph in our collective skill. Our teams are made up of a fusion of personalities and interests bound together by a collaborative nature, fun-loving culture, and a drive to do what it takes to make great games. And this is where you come in…

Kabam is on the hunt for a Senior Total Rewards Specialist who's not just great with numbers, but a strategic wizard ready to sculpt our compensation and benefits landscape! Reporting to our Senior Director, People Operations, Total Rewards and RMO, you'll be the mastermind behind developing, transforming, and maintaining Kabam's Total Rewards Program, practices, and policies. This is your chance to drive our total compensation strategy, liaise with our parent company, and mentor a talented team. If you're passionate about perks and pumped about pay, let's talk!

In this role, you can expect to:

• Manage and administer compensation programs, including monitoring budgets for incentive programs and ensuring market competitiveness of salary structures.
• Ensure compensation programs comply with relevant legislation and align with Kabam's compensation philosophy.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and execute effective bonus programs.
• Manage the administration of US and Canadian employee benefits, including health, wellness, and retirement plans.
• Negotiate new benefit prices and deals during "go to market" periods.
• Oversee the open enrollment process for US and Canadian employees across various studios.
• Lead Mid-Year and Annual Performance Review Cycles, connecting reviews with cyclical salary changes and bonuses.
• Manage and allocate the company's compensation budget, obtaining approvals from the Executive team and parent company.

To be successful in this role, your background includes:

• 7+ years of experience in HR which includes a minimum of 5 years of experience in administering and planning compensation strategies.
• Experience working with HRIS systems, with a preference for Dayforce.
• Providing mentorship, coaching, and guidance to team members, fostering a learning culture.
• Highly skilled at drafting materials for executive review and approval on various compensation and benefits-related matters.
• A post-secondary degree in HR or a related field.

Our success is due to the hard work of our people. We share our success with our people through flexible benefits and reward programs, sweet swag, snacks, and more. Here’s a look at some of the support we provide our people:

• Extended Health Coverage: effective day one, no waiting period! Our benefits cover health, dental, life, disability, and extended paramedical services such as vision care, mental health practitioners, massage, physiotherapy, acupuncture, and much more.
• DEIB Benefits: DEIB is important to us and to our people - that’s why our benefits include gender-affirming care, fertility care, and other hormonal treatments and drugs.
• Flexible Spending Accounts: our benefits are built on a flex credit model, so you’re able to choose the coverage levels that are right for you, and allocate the rest to a group RRSP/TFSA, Health Spending account, and/or Personal Spending Account.
• RRSP Matching: everyone retires eventually, and we help our people save for their futures with a contribution matching program once you reach 90 days with us.
• PTO and Parental Leave: we offer paid parental leave, flexible paid time off, paid time off for volunteering, sick leave, and holiday closures.
• Employee and Family Assistance Program: this program provides crisis management support, immediate mental health care, and generalized support for emotional, mental, and financial well-being.
• Telus Virtual Health: we provide increased access to remote healthcare providers for prescription refills or referrals from the comfort of your home.
• Learning and growth: We encourage people to grow both personally and professionally, and support this through regular lunch & learns and an education stipend.
• Pay transparency: We share with employees the pay range their role falls within and clear career maps to determine how they can grow within their role or level-up to a promotion.
• Cool spaces: Our offices are in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Montreal, Prince Edward Island, and Seoul. Whether it’s summers on the rooftop patio in Downtown Vancouver, watching the fireworks in Montreal’s South Shore, or trying local eats in Downtown Charlottetown - we want our people to feel like their time spent in office is worthwhile!
• Giving back: Kabammers have a dedicated paid day off every year to volunteer to a cause close to their hearts. Some teams even band together for group volunteer days off-site!
• Hybrid Work: Kabammers typically spend at least two days per week in office. We believe in blending in-office collaboration with the freedom of remote work, and want everyone to have flexibility while fostering strong connections.

Excited by this opportunity? Kabam is dedicated to growing our diverse and inclusive workforce, so if your past experience doesn’t perfectly match the listed requirements we encourage you to apply anyways - you could be a great fit for this or other positions.

We invite you to apply now and start the conversation with us. Together, we can create and support some of the best games ever made and entertain the world!
