Riot Games was founded in 2006 by Brandon Beck and Marc Merrill with the intent to change the way video games are made and supported for players. In 2009, Riot released its debut title League of Legends to worldwide acclaim. The game has since gone on to become the most played PC game in the world and is a key driver of the dramatic growth of Esports. Players are the foundation of our community and it’s for them we continue to evolve and improve the League of Legends experience. Riot Games is headquartered in Los Angeles, CA and has 23 offices worldwide.
As the Event Manager on the Esports team, you will be the jack of all trades when it comes to event and pro-player logistics. You will own everything from curating the staffing list, sourcing and negotiating hotels and travel, to the catering needs of both groups on-site. Your flexibility and strong dedication to fan and player happiness will amplify your ability to ensure excellent events.
Over the past 8 years, League of Legends has grown to be the world’s most popular esport totaling 1.2 billion hours viewed during our 2017 World Championship alone. At the core is the Esports Central team. We are a collection of individuals responsible for operating three major global events, defining global policy, driving global narratives, and providing services to our 15 different regional offices and leagues.
