## Job description

## ABOUT VOODOO

Founded in 2013, Voodoo is a tech company that creates mobile games and apps with a mission to entertain the world. Gathering 800 employees, 7 billion downloads, and over 200 million active users, Voodoo is the #3 mobile publisher worldwide in terms of downloads after Google and Meta. Our portfolio includes chart-topping games like Mob Control and Block Jam, alongside popular apps such as BeReal and Wizz.

## TEAM

Our Corporate teams support the company’s performance and growth whilst putting people at the core of everything they do. As a French tech leader and global successful company, our Corporate teams are constantly looking for ways to innovate and increase organization efficiency to keep Voodoo ahead of the market. Voodoo’s Corporate function is composed of five teams: HR, Talent acquisition, Legal, M&A and Finance, working together to drive Voodoo’s success.

We're looking for a Freelancer Workplace Experience Specialist to join our team in Istanbul. In this role, you'll be the first Workplace hire in our Istanbul office, responsible for transforming a new space into a thriving, culture-first environment - and running it as the team scales.

## ROLE

- Own the office fit-out end to end, from layout design and space planning to decoration, ensuring the workspace reflects Voodoo's identity
- Build and run the local vendor ecosystem from scratch - source, qualify, and contract fit-out companies, cleaning services, and maintenance providers
- Set up a world-class snacking and food experience by sourcing local Turkish suppliers for coffee, tea, food, and snacks aligned with Voodoo's culture and expectations
- Design a workspace that brings people together, with desk zones, meeting rooms, and social spaces crafted to fuel collaboration, productivity, and a genuine sense of team connection, creating experiences compelling enough to make the office the place people actually want to be.
- Report to the Paris Workplace Manager, with a dotted-line to the Local GM, and keep all stakeholders up to date on setup milestones, budget spend, and vendor status using Google Suite.
- Run regular employee satisfaction surveys, summarise the results, and build time-bound action plans from the feedback. Review plans with the Manager, implement them, and track their impact, keeping disruption to employees as low as possible.
- Ensure rigorous and timely budget tracking and deliver structured monthly reports, flagging risks proactively
- Manage all vendor relationships and supply chains, renegotiating or replacing suppliers when needed
- Lead small office events and team-building activities that reinforce Voodoo's culture and bring the Istanbul team together depending on goal set up with management
- Scale workplace operations as headcount grows from 15 to 30+ people, anticipating needs and adapting processes accordingly

Please take note that this is a Part-Time contract
