The Insights discipline helps empower Rioters' decision-making to be more data-informed. We're an interdisciplinary group of scientists, consultants, and strategists from all sorts of backgrounds, that focus on bringing an astute understanding of players to Riot. We join together to represent and advocate for players from around the world. We believe that illuminating the globally diverse experiences, behaviors, and needs of players is essential to Riot living up to our player-focused mission. We're a group united by our love of games, science, and helping others succeed. Do you embody player empathy and care deeply about the experiences of your customers (our players), if so this could be the role for you.

Are you looking for a career that blends your scientific acumen and your deep real passion for games? As a Researcher at Riot Games, you will study, represent, and speak for the players around the globe. Your scientific skillset coupled with your audience insight will ensure that we are crafting our products in a player-focused way.

You will join the Player Immersion & Expression initiative where you’ll be working on products such as champion skins and other cosmetic content, loot, events, and new monetization products or distribution strategies. You will actively contribute to product strategy, such as developing recommendations for new products or product improvement and evaluating product performance. This will be accomplished through primary research such as player labs, surveys, and in-depth interviews, as well as building presentations with powerful narratives around recommendations based on player data. What makes a skin line successful? How do we design around player needs and preferences? How do players make purchasing decisions? Help us make better decisions for players through sussing out those insights.
