Riot Games was established in 2006 by entrepreneurial 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. As the most played PC game in the world, over 100 million play every month. Players form the foundation of our community and it’s for them that we continue to evolve and improve the League of Legends experience. 

We’re looking for humble but ambitious, razor-sharp professionals who can teach us a thing or two. We promise to return the favor. Like us, you take play seriously; you’re passionate about games. We embrace those who see things differently, aren’t afraid to experiment, and who have a healthy disregard for constraints.

That's where you come in.

As Product Manager focused on Riot Initiatives, you'll lead passionate cross-functional teams to create innovative internal platforms that'll unlock Riot's ability to deliver player value. By leading teams, you'll drive development, smash through obstacles, and push projects across the finish-line. You'll meet and exceed expectations by helping concept, deliver, enhance, and influence projects at every stage of production. You'll do all of this in service of an ambitious transformation of Riot's company infrastructure into a highly adaptable, efficient, and effective machine that multiplies Riot's ability to deliver player value.

You are:

  • A threat to corporate convention: highly versed in, but not beholden to, how companies operate; unwilling to be trapped by by traditional corporate silos, you constantly push past limits until the status is no longer quo; you don't "think outside the box" because for you, there is no box
  • A seasoned leader: you're battle tested in a corporate environment and have already worn the mantle of leader several times; you've been through several campaigns of products that create value; you've shipped a product from ideation to delivery
  • A master problem solver: you take deep pride in your work and view each new problem as an opportunity for success; you approach challenges creatively, but methodically, sparking discussions as you work toward prioritizing and breaking down the steps to solutions
  • A team player: while you're a capable self-manager, your natural verve and sense of fun make you thrive as part of a team; you inspire others, provide meaningful and constructive criticism, and remain cool, calm, and collected in crisis
  • Goal oriented: you develop and actualize vision, mission and strategy into a cohesive outcome through capable team management, tactical execution, and unrelenting focus on daily progress; you connect Rioter experience to broader vision and understand how to create products that Rioters will engage with and level up from
  • Comfortable with ambiguity: when changes are made, you keep a cool head and fight on, even if you don't have all the details; you're comfortable moving between projects and facing the uncertain because risk and change motivates you to evolve and innovate
  • A gamer: your passion for gaming can be felt in most of your big life decisions, from which computer to pick up to where you live (dat FiOS); you love games and take play seriously, and that'll help you make player-focused decisions every day

You will:

  • Develop a deep systems understanding of how Riot operates, craft a vision for how it can evolve, and lead a team to make that transformation a reality
  • Oversee multiple internal strategic Riot projects at once, helping set vision while prioritizing alignment for all levels of development, recruitment of new talent, and leadership for fellow Rioters
  • Lead prodigiously talented teams while getting your hands dirty by working directly with Rioters from Brand, Culture, Engineering, Facilities, Finance, Legal, and IT as you create an internal platform of products to unlock Riot's ability to deliver player value
  • Inform and build feature roadmaps, identifying critical path issues while pulling together strike forces to blast through barriers and ship value to Rioters

Don’t forget to include a resume and cover letter. We receive a lot of applications, but we’ll notice a fun, well-written intro that shows us you take play seriously.
