Senior People Business Partner

About FIRY

FIRY (NYSE: FIRY) is a founder-led global holding company built to fuel business potential. Through three independent and complementary businesses, FIRY operates at the intersection of content, identity, commerce, and performance marketing.

Founded in 2012 by serial entrepreneur Andrew Paradise, the company began as Skillz Inc. — inventing real-money skill-based mobile gaming from scratch and proving that fair and competitive play could be built into mobile games at scale. Fourteen years later, that foundation has grown into three distinct businesses:

• Skillz is the competition platform FIRY invented. Real-money skill-based gaming infrastructure, with 90M+ registered users, and the foundational source of first-party behavioral data across the portfolio.
• RZR is the AI-powered performance advertising platform, rebuilt from the ground up and rebranded in March 2026. Profitable for three consecutive quarters.
• Beamable is the backend and LiveOps infrastructure for game developers, acquired in 2026. One platform covering everything a studio needs to build, operate, and grow a live game.

FIRY is publicly traded on the NYSE and headquartered in Las Vegas, with hubs in San Francisco, New York City, and Bengaluru.

Why FIRY

• You are at the center of everything. Corporate roles at FIRY do not support one business. They support the infrastructure, strategy, and execution that makes three independent businesses work and compounds as they grow together.
• Founder-led. Andrew Paradise founded Skillz in 2012 with a single conviction: that fair, real-money skill-based competition should exist at scale. Thirteen years later, he has taken the company public on the NYSE, built a portfolio of three independent businesses, earned 90+ patents, and won the largest false advertising verdict in U.S. history. He is still here, still the founder, still the CEO, still building. That kind of long-term commitment is rare. At FIRY, it defines the culture from the top down.
• A portfolio at the beginning of its compounding phase. Four consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth. Q1 2026 revenue up 33% year-over-year. RZR at 120%+ year-over-year growth in Q1 2026 and profitable for three consecutive quarters. The flywheel is turning.
• A mission worth the work. FIRY's mission is to fuel business potential. The systems FIRY builds help developers build businesses, advertisers acquire the right users, and infrastructure that turns competitive play into a scalable commercial engine. The addressable market across performance marketing, gaming infrastructure, and skill-based competition is $45B+.
• Comprehensive Benefits. 100% coverage for medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents. 401K matching, equity incentives, pre-tax benefit options, and more.
• Wellness Support. Meditation and mental health resources, physical fitness coaching and classes, family planning assistance, virtual therapy sessions, and more.
• Time Off. Competitive PTO and company holidays.
• Las Vegas Headquarters. FIRY operates in a five-day-a-week, collaborative office environment at our 36,000+ square foot Las Vegas headquarters. Free daily lunch, snacks, a full-size gym with showers, commuter benefits, team events, and more.
