Riot Games was established in 2006 by avid gamers who believe that player-focused game development can result in great games. In 2009, Riot released its debut title League of Legends to critical and player acclaim. Players form the foundation of our community and it’s for them that we continue to evolve and improve the League of Legends experience, and beyond!

The Production discipline at Riot helps teams understand the vision of the product, and how we’re going to get there. We help bring experiences beyond our audience's expectations. We’re involved in almost every product you can think of, be it an epic new skin, the Mechs vs. Minions board game, or the internal tools needed by engineers or artists to speed up their craft. Whatever the calling, we identify and bring the solution that our audience needs.

Product Managers on the China Games team help lead the vision of each product across the finish line, and help provide experiences beyond our audience's expectations. They guide the product lifecycle from start to finish, and understand the intricate nuances of what the audience needs from the products we develop. We have no set path to shipping games, in fact, we are creating the path for how future Riot games will ship in China and developing the working models of how we work with Tencent.

As a Product Manager on the China Games team, reporting into the Product Lead, China, you will join the effort of shipping games for players in China. By encouraging teams to collaborate we'll guide development, smashing through obstacles and driving projects across the finish-line and into players’ hands.

  • Work with game teams to ensure launch execution and the best possible game service delivery in China region.
  • Collaborate with external teams to ensure products / experiences are tailored to China market needs and are delivered to players' hands.
  • Manage collaborations with partners, bridge the gap between organizations by facilitating discussions and encouraging agreement between leads to make decisions that effect game service and operations in China.
  • Ensure game and content compliance in China market.
  • Support all launch and release activities not limited to tech, publishing, and live ops.

Required Qualifications:

  • 3+ years experience in product/project management, preferably delivering player facing products or features.
  • Fluent in Chinese and English, and can drive collaboration across language and culture.

  • Willingness to travel to China, several times a year.

Desired Qualifications:

  • Manage project/task prioritization while wearing multiple hats.
  • Ability to engage and empathize with players and translate their responses into applicable feedback for the product team.
  • Full-lifecycle project ownership, from creation to launch.
  • Experience using project management tools to track and achieve project milestones (Favro, Trello, JIRA, etc).

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes the delight of players. We will look at your past studies, experience, and your personal relationship with games. If you embody player empathy and care about the experiences of players, this could be the role for you!

Our Perks:

We offer medical, dental, and vision plans that cover you, your spouse/domestic partner, and children. Life insurance, parental leave, plus short-term and long-term disability coverage are also available.
